Don't get me wrong, I didn't dislike this movie. It managed to keep me interested from the very first scene to the end, and I particularly appreciated how both the indoor and the outdoor sequences felt believable and... well, right: "This is how people would probably behave if something similar happened IRL", I found myself thinking more than once during the film. "People are stupid and do stupid things under pressure", that's OK. What I HATED is how the characters were typified. The old grumpy racist man! The whiny weak fat woman! The otherwise useless youngster that are only there for the token sex scene and then disappear! The relentlessly brave love interest! Quite tiresome at times.
