[5.75/10] Peninsula (2020)

Peninsula (2020)

Quick Review: Technically slicker than the first, yet never as intense, thrilling or moving, "Peninsula" does offer a few solid set pieces, gloomy post-apocalyptic imagery, and some fairly engaging characters that are easy to like and care about, but for its nearly two-hour running time, this mixed bag of a sequel fails to live up to expectations in terms of zombie terror and grisliness, as it relies on typical pure action instead, let alone leave an emotional impact as big as that in "Train to Busan".

Which is a shame as the first film was great.

Indeed. They could have done a better job with this one.
