Warning: Spoilers
All the other reviews basically cover almost everything good and bad about this movie. The only thing worth mentioning, that already hasn't been, is that almost every single problem in this movie would have been solved or avoided if people actually used common sense and proper restraining procedure on any of the zombies.

****SPOILER ALERT****

As an example, one of the dumbest scenes in the movie revolves around a sting operation on zombie smuggling truck drivers. This scene is stupid for many reasons, the first being that it exists. I cannot even imagine the events that convinced those people that smuggling zombies, especially after they almost wiped out humanity, was a good idea.

However, the real gem of this scene is when the R-division guys open up the trailer and find a trailer full of zombies with not a single one, in any way, shape or form, restrained or otherwise impeded from exiting the vehicle.

This entire scene left me with so many questions. Why isn't there a cage inside the trailer to prevent the zombies from immediately rushing for the exit the moment the door's opened? Why did the truck driver open the back when there's no restraint on the zombies? Did he really not know they were back there? Why didn't anybody tell him? Etc.

The real reason that none of the zombies are ever restrained throughout the movie is so we can get gratuitous action scenes. Poorly shot, convoluted, and oh so confusing action scenes.
