" I Feel stronger than I ever did when I was alive "

Has the world of the Martial artist hit rock bottom? In that genre, one of the best action hero was none other than Steven Segal. However, aside from continuing to make films, one has to ask, why did he do this one? There are a number of other actors who might have carried this poor showing to it's ultimate end. I cannot say I am impressed with anything in this movie and someone forgot to tell Segal this film should have been refused. The story line is the country has been devastated by some sort of plague and wiped out the inhabitants. What is left are a few survivors, which included 'The Hunters', some flesh eating zombies and the military. Trapped in what is left of the city, a group of survivors try to find shelter amid the remnants of an abandoned hospital. Traveling through what appears to be a maze of corridors, they are constantly attacked by the zombies who eventually whittle the small group down to bite-size. Along the way they are joined by the hunters who attempt to find a way out. Meanwhile the military is prepared to level the town with an all out strike. Few hours till dawn approach and the group makes one last ditch effort to escape the building. The film will not be seen as Segal's best, far from it. With the exception of Keith David as Lt. Waters and Tanoai Reed as Tagart, the film leaves much to be desired and Mr. Segal should have passed on this role. **
