“Ocean’s Eleven” gets a zombie remix in Zack Snyder’s latest, as Dave Bautista and company infiltrate undead-infested Las Vegas Strip to try and walk away with a fat load of cash against all odds. The idea manages to stay afloat because the film does not take itself too seriously.

The film ends up more like a tribute to classic zombie horror than an attempt to reinvent the template in any way. It’s almost as if Snyder was out having fun with the genre that started his career as a filmmaker way back in 2004, when he made his directorial debut with a remake of “Dawn Of The Dead”, George A. Romero’s 1978 release that continues to have a cult following globally.
