Some days it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed. All you want to do is your job, check out and go home. But sometimes you find yourself in a time and place that allows you to become more than you’ve become. Jack Mosley (Bruce Willis) is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Eddie Bunker (Mos Def) is a witness against some bad cops and his courthouse driver gets caught in traffic. Frank Nugent (David Morse) comes by the bar where they are recuperating after one attempt on Eddie’s life and starts in on persuading Frank to give up the witness. About to kill Eddie, Frank kneecaps the shooter and thereby declares which side he’s on.

I’ve been to many book store signings. Some are good and a lot of people turn out. They are appreciative of the commentary by the writer and go away feeling that the time was well spent. The author is pleased that it went so well and sometimes even looks forward to their next stop on the tour. But sometimes you get one like that experienced by Mike Enslin (John Cusack) who arrives for the signing, gets a cursory greeting by the store staff, has a handful of people asking the regular sickening questions and watches them drift off into the night, hoping they get lost in traffic. But authors look forward to those rare attendees like that of the young lady at the signing (Alexandra Silber) who found a copy of Mike’s first book on eBay, doesn’t buy his new book and tells him how much the novel meant to her. It may be poignant moment but it remains with the author to enjoy once again when that usual question repeats at his next tour stop.

Let’s suppose you are a solider in the military like Doyle (Jeremy Renner). Let’s also suppose you set to guard a group of civilians from insurgents intent on killing them like those infected by the Rage Virus (i.e. zombies on steroids). It seems like a fairly straightforward activity. Let’s now suppose that your commanding officer tells you that the barrier has been breached and orders you to shoot those who have broken through like the virally infected have her in this movie. Given the proper circumstances, I’d level my rifle and pop them once I had them in my scope. I imagine most would follow that order. Now suppose, the order came through to kill anything on the ground whether infected or not. Here is where I pause and examine my commitment to the situation. Particularly if I see a kid like Andy (Mackintosh Muggleton) or a doctor like Scarlet (Rose Byrne) through the rangefinder and I know neither one is infected. I might tap someone about to rip out their throat but Andy is just a kid who has been reunited with his dad after spending 28 weeks in a camp in Spain with his sister Tammy (Imogen Poots). Doyle feels much the same and decides that saving a life is better karma than taking one.

Does anyone in your daily life really listen to what you have to say? Sometimes your family, sometimes your friends, sometimes your co-workers. But there are times when you just want to shake somebody and say listen, I’m talking and it is important. Jenna Rink (Jennifer Garner) goes through her day as a thirteen-year-old in a 30-year-old body but it takes a tween neighbour that Jenna meets in the elevator to suss out that she isn’t what she seems to be.

You want to change your life. You find yourself stuck in the one you’re living now and you see that there is something better available to you. But your partner is happy with the way things are and any change to the stability is seen as a threat. You know that walking away will only bring pain and violence. You’ve tried it and all you got were broken bones and bruises which you tell friends came from an accident. How do you make a stand and not get hurt? The authorities won’t listen, the judicial system hasn’t got much but paper remedies. How do you plan a getaway? For Kat (Milla Jovovich) it starts with friends Vic (Sarah Strange) and Liz (Aisha Taylor) who provide the moral support in Kat’s struggle to slip away from her drug-dealing boyfriend Big Al (Angus Macfadyen). There is even an offer to take up a collection to get him whacked.
