_War of the Dead_ doesn't waste a moment before getting into the action, this is not always a good thing, but here it kind of makes sense. This is not great. There **are** great Nazi zombie movies out there, I can think of about five off the top of my head, and _War of the Dead_ isn't one of them, but it was so much better than I was prepared for it to be, and the vast gap between my low expectations and the okay-ish reality led me to have a decent time sitting at my desk with this on in the background. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
