For decades, the name of Arnold Schwarzenegger has been synonymous with exaggerated action of action and cheeky liners who come from a man who is always tall, in charge and total control of the situation, no matter how ridiculous it can be. I am not saying that either as an indictment of his acting capacities; Schwarzenegger was born to play this type of character, and he has the history to prove it. But when he finally has a chance to play against the guy and play a more dramatic role, as in 2015 MaggieYou cannot help but ask yourself why we do not see the star of beloved action in more films like this because it clearly has action chops that he has not yet explored at this stage of his explosive career.

Surprisingly convincing in his representation of a mourning father during uncertain times, the performance of Schwarzenegger Maggie Must attract more attention because I did not think he had some to put such a touching performance, and if I am honest, I did not even know that this film existed until recently because of its limited theatrical release.

The love of a father does not know any limits

Located in another current post-apocalyptic America, Maggie Focus on Wade Vogel by Arnold Schwarzenegger and his sickly daughter, Marguerite “Maggie” Vogel (Abigail Breslin). Maggie disappeared after being bitten by a zombie infected with the necroambulistic virus, which can also be a death sentence. Unlike other zombie films, we are not talking about an epidemic of total violence as in Dawn of the deadBut rather the consequences of one in the sense that most people try to rebuild society, and there are quarantine measures set up for those who are still infected.

Locating Maggie in a hospital for the infected, Wade brings him home so that he and his wife, Caroline (Joely Richardson), can make her comfortable during what in uncertain terms is her last days.

While Maggie’s health continues to deteriorate, we see his psychological state because the scenes shot from his point of view show that his physical and mental faculties gradually lose the form that the zombie The infection sets up. Knowning that it’s only a Matter of Time Until he has been decision that no father Should Every To Make, Wade is confronted by the Authorities who Tell Him that he can either Bring Her to a Quarantine Center when She’ll Eventurely Get Drugged to Death Incredibly Draw Out and Painful Process, or “Make It Quick,” Implying that he’ll have to take her out himself a la Old yeller.

Credible fact by its lack of construction of the world

Distinguish yourself from other post-apocalyptic intellectual properties such as 28 days later Or The Walking Dead,, Maggie Does not need in -depth global construction to get your point of view because it is local events that stimulate its narration.

Located almost entirely at the Vogel residence, we have an overview of the wasteland in recovery when Wade and Maggie go to the hospital and from the hospital – and as we are in a mainly rural setting, we testify to a small little community in ruins which hopes for a day reconstruction.

The faulty structures of the local community and the skeletal staff of the hospital made up of doctors, nurses and breathtaking military staff are all that you should know that humanity has fought the necroambulistic virus for some time, and although there can be a light at the end of the coming years.

I will be the first person to tell you that Maggie Is mainly an experience of unhappiness and sadness, but there are moments of occasional lightness that only Arnold Schwarzenegger could offer when tensions are high, as to claim that Caroline’s improvised cuisine, can cuisine have a good taste while he retains dry uprisings in her efforts to make his frightened daughter laugh, if only a second. By maintaining a moderate face during most of the film’s race, Schwarzenegger is effective in his representation of a mourning father who already knows how the story will end before the events of the film begin.
