The movie is
written, directed, produced, and scored by the same team behind the first one.
It brings back the same cast while introducing new characters. The title Double
Tap refers to one of Columbus’s (Jesse Eisenberg) rules: don’t be stingy
with your bullets—shoot a zombie twice to make sure it’s dead.
This movie is
funnier than the first—like, really funny. It pulls out all the stops this
time, with a bigger cast, more drama, and even some romance. Tallahassee,
played by Woody Harrelson, is the standout character in this movie; he’s just
over the top. Columbus’s rules have also grown from 32 to over 70.
The movie starts by introducing the different grades of zombies. We learn that zombies have evolved, and now there are Homer Zombies (dumb zombies), Hawkins Zombies (smart zombies), and Ninja Zombies (the ones that sneak up on you).
The movie
challenges our leads as they realize there are other survivors out there, but
they’ve been keeping their distance for survival reasons. Tallahassee (Woody
Harrelson) has become a sort of father figure to Little Rock (Abigail Breslin),
who wants to leave the nest and meet new people. Tallahassee is overly
protective of Little Rock, still seeing her as the little girl he needs to
protect. Meanwhile, Wichita starts to feel uneasy about her growing attachment
to Columbus.
The story takes
a turn when the group splits up again, with the girls leaving the guys
behind—again.
We meet new survivors along the way. One is a pacifist whom the girls run into. The other is Madison, a girl who’s all looks and no brains—which, according to Tallahassee, is the reason she’s still alive. After all, zombies eat brains, and she doesn’t have any.
While Columbus,
Tallahassee, and Madison are chilling in the White House, Wichita returns to
tell them that Little Rock has run off with the pacifist they met earlier. She
explains that Little Rock has fallen for him, and the two have taken off
together. Now, the trio heads back out to find her.
On their
journey, they meet even more new people, including a love interest for
Tallahassee. They also encounter the worst zombie of them all: the T-800. These
zombies are harder to kill, and once they lock onto their prey, you’d better
hope you have something to take their heads off.
The movie is amazing, fun, and worth watching more than once.
