Maggie (2015)


Alex - If I told you Maggie was a story about a father's love for his daughter, filmed in an intimate way, set against the background of a society ravaged by a "zombie-like" virus, and starring Arnold Schwarznegger as just a regular guy, you might think this was a winning combination.  Sadly, it was not. Arnold S plays a father who wants to save his daughter (who has been bitten and will slowly "turn"), and while he does a decent job playing an understated role, the film never goes anywhere.  The film tries to make an emotional connection with the audience, but personally, I didn't care about any of the characters.  Bad dialogue leads to crappy acting, and the film ultimately leaves so much wasted potential on the table.  2/10
