Rick and a group of survivors face a siege in an Atlanta department store.
This is a strong action based episode with a number of suspenseful moments.
The plot is a classic siege thriller seen in many zombie movies and is done well. As the events unfold the tension and suspense are excellent.
Rick Grimes has some great action hero moments and the intrigue surrounding his family continues. There are some other characters introduced who consist of the typical cross section of society found in disaster movies. Merle could not me more of a stereotype redneck. Although this is a bit of a cliché for survival stories, there are no particularly annoying characters, which is a relief.
The visuals are great, including several pulsating action sequences, stomach turning (literally) gore and strong visual storytelling. There are also some subtle shots of characters doing simple things such as foraging and building that feel like they are showing humanity back to basics. One scene with two characters in a wooded area works fantastically well given the little dialogue involved.
All performances are strong with Andrew Lincoln and Michael Rooker standing out.
