The other performances are nondescript, with the exception of one brilliant turn by a Hollywood A-lister who shall remain nameless, lest the surprise of his appearance be spoiled. Harrelson revels in his role as the crazy redneck, something of a throwback to his “Natural Born Killers” days. The mannerisms are so comparable, it’s a little bit eerie. Eisenberg is the poor man’s Michael Cera, endearingly awkward with a similarly stilted line delivery and a self-deprecating sense of his own place in the world. One of the running gags involves the two guys deciding which of their tall tales fits as “zombie kill of the week.” It’s funny, if not screamingly so. There are kills both creative and mundane guns and hedge clippers and the occasional piano are all employed to fine effect. As a whole, the group has seamless chemistry and will instantly strike a chord.It’s the zombie-killing action that people have come here to revel in, and “Zombieland” delivers. There’s more to their characters than you’d expect. Eisenberg and Harrelson are the shining stars of the film, but Breslin and Stone are in no way hiding in their shadows. When it comes to the female department he’s also got a leg up on other nice guys he’s awkward, but not so painfully that romance is ridiculous. Fun, inventive, and (perhaps most importantly) successful, it paved the.
Eisenberg is no Channing Tatum but he’s a little stockier than Cera and handles a double-barreled shotgun pretty well. 'Zombieland' was released in the fall of 2009 and ended up becoming a bit of a surprise, both critically and commercially. You’d expect Eisenberg to be typecast similarly to Michael Cera, but there’s added warmth to Eisenberg that stops him from falling down the awkward-nice-guy hole. Harrelson’s over the top performance –but rightly so - is balanced by the subdued Eisenberg.
He uninhibitedly stomps around onscreen bashing zombies into the ground and keeps you laughing as he does it. Harrelson’s Tallahassee may have a pathetic weakness, but he’s nothing short of awesome. The casting, the screenwriting and the cinematography all meld perfectly creating a thoroughly enjoyable horror comedy hybrid. Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) aren’t as innocent as they seem, but the tension fades and the four decide to join forces and drive cross-country so Wichita can make good on her promise to take Little Rock to an amusement park in California.Įverything works in Zombieland. Tallahassee’s obsession with a certain snack takes the guys into a supermarket where they find their female counterparts in a feeble situation. The two wind up crossing paths as Columbus makes his way to Columbus, Ohio to find his family and Tallahassee heads towards, well, you probably guessed it, Tallahassee, Florida. The sequel, Zombieland: Double Tap, is set to hit theaters ten years later to the date-October. The only thing Tallahassee is concerned with is killing as many of those bloody-faced maniacs as possible and doing so in the most creative way he can think of. The original Zombieland came out during a different time-a period of ancient history known as 2009. On the other hand, Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) has no rules. Better be safe than sorry and put an extra bullet in that sucker’s head. Nobody wants a zombie presumed dead to jump up and catch them off guard. The list includes the cardio rule, seatbelt wearing rule, and my personal favorite, the double tap.
The film’s main protagonist is Columbus (Jesses Eisenberg), one of the few non-zombies left in the country thanks to a strict set of rules.
