A well made but rather routine paranoid horror movie.

Dull and diffuse. Take a disaffected Timothy Olyphant for umbrage.

I can't figure out if the message is 1) big govt is destroying small town America (BTW, I'm completely cool with that); 2) the impact of meth upon small town America, or 3) you have to be a white collar professional to escape from small town America. Maybe it's an amalgam of all three. Anyway, it was kinda gross when the two leads made out at the truck stop after having not brushed their teeth for two days. Blech

A remake of a classic 70s horror film

The crazies is a horror/thriller/zombie film which does admittedly keep the audience at the edge of their seat.
