The one exception is the 20 or 30 minutes we spend in Israel. It actually feels like we’re in the Middle East (though the film wasn’t shot in Israel) and the shots of the endless zombie hordes that pour into the country—toppling buses and mounting walls through sheer mass—are the only sequences that feel particularly unique.

But maybe I just liked this sequence because I’m a perfidious Zionist.

Some are arguing that the wall Israel builds to keep out the zombie menace is a not-so-oblique reference to the security wall that Israel built to keep out the terrorist menace emanating from the Palestinian territories. It’s, like, justifying apartheid or something! As a writer over at Mondoweiss put it…
