If you are looking for an adaptation of the book, look elsewhere. This ONLY shares the title and the zombies. However, this version of 'World War Z' is an original big studio production. This film is a biological thriller that focuses on tense chases, rather than the usual parade of senseless gory killings. The action is well paced and never goes too big. The story has a driving main goal of finding a scientific means to combat the epidemic, and what the writers come up with is quite clever. The few flaws in the mix are minor quibbles with lack of character identity, hackneyed dialogue, and jumps in plot. Though, none of these points get in the way of the overall thriller aspect that the film excels at.
