Overlord

Nowadays comic books and even video games are turned into film, so I had to be reminded that Overlord was a video game from 2007.  Well, irregardless of the source, the film Overlord is just good, pure, and fresh entertainment.  Part war drama and part horror, it is an interesting take on the World War 2 drama as predominantly told from a young Black man's perspective.  There are certainly shades of Inglorious Bastards, Cloverfield, and World War Z here. This film is very engaging employing judicious use of suspense, action, cinematography, and special effects.  The relatively unknown cast here also helps in the performances of Jovan Adepo, Wyatt Russell, and Bokeem Woodbine.  I'd certainly root for a sequel to this.
