Good Movie, Had Potential To Be Great !!

I honestly loved the first half, rather two-third of the movie. Its different and complex and doesn't have many unrelated scenes. I mean, I loved how it stayed on the topic rather than straying to cheap story lines like many movies do. Now, the sad part, the sad part is that the movie had such great potential to be great but this one mistake just took 4 stars out of its rating. My point is that throughout the movie the viewer is made to realize that the antidote is the only precious thing in the world and suddenly the lead-lady **spoiler** starts taking it as lightly as it was a normal pack of crisps available everywhere. "Once Bitten Twice Shy" is an idiom based on real life rational humans, thus after the couple faces the brunt of their carelessness and excessive trust once, they both should have been extra extra careful. As opposed to Yelling on the phone about the dozes obtained and their number too. Also after that too, such a delicately packed glass tubes which are extremely hard to get and people are actually killing for it, is kept under the seat or in the trunk or hidden in some bag or something not put on the front seat for display. Also, if one expects the government to make an announcement about the antidote synthesis, one would at least wait until then to shoot a loved one, if one actually is able to. Generally though, I liked the movie, just the ending or say penultimate scenes were unsatisfactory.

Great Zombie Movie

After a zombie outbreak, the infected people survive due to a vaccine made of the the spinal fluid of dead zombies and they are called "Returned". Dr. Kate (Emily Hampshire) works in a hospital and is responsible for the wing of Returned". There is a rumor that the vaccine is running out and Kate secretly buys vaccines from Eve (Melina Matthews), who is the responsible for the storeroom. Kate's beloved husband, the musician Alex (Kris Holden-Ried), was infected and only Kate and Alex's brother Jacob (Shawn Doyle) and his wife Amber (Claudia Bassols) knows. When the vaccine runs out, the government brings the infected people to quarantine centers while research a synthetic vaccine. However, Alex and Kate flee to Jacob's house in the countryside expecting that Alex survives until the synthetic vaccine becomes reality. But when Alex's wallet is stolen, Kate's last hope is to get some vaccines from the director of the hospital where she works. Will she succeed?"The Returned" is among the best zombie movies with a dramatic and credible story and outstanding direction and performances. The behavior of the human beings feeling despair for the situation with beloved ones is impressive and realistic. The dark conclusion is predictable but also perfect. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Retornados" ("Returned")
