28 Days Later is the kind of film you think will be about running. Running away.A rage-inducing virus has gulped down all of England. Not your regular rage virus this though. Because it also makes you want to [violently] pass it on to others. Cillian Murphy [pre-Red Eye and Batman Begins fame] plays a last innocent on the run, with a little help from some equally calm friends. What I was surprised about was how much time writer Alex Garland found for things other than running. What an unflinching, focussed return to instincts! When all else has been blown to bits, 28 Days Later remains scary and eloquent. A cult classic.
