The sequel to the cult hit 28 Days Later is a solid film that doesn't surpass the original, but is a great film on its own merit. It doesn't neccessarily require that you've seen 28 Days Later, as none of the characters return, and the film is more a representation of the UK under a US-led force sent to hold up fort and allow for stabilization and repopulation (sound familiar!?).
The film keeps the gritty and indie feel of the first, which is a great thing they did. Because that's what makes the 28 movies so great! The interesting this is what the army begins to do once they've lost control. Really makes you question what's going on over in our "Mission Accomplished" Operation Iraqi Freedom.
It's a renter, not a buyer. But it's definitely worth a watch! If you liked 28 Days Later, you will like 28 Weeks Later. Just don't expect the increase of level as we see with the Saw series.
