This film begins with an American SEAL team landing by helicopter on the rooftop of a building in Abbottabad, Pakistan in search of Osama bin Laden. Completely surprised by the sudden assault Osama desperately infects himself with a virus which eventually turns himself into a zombie. Having then shot and presumably killing him, the SEAL team put his body on the helicopter to take back to an aircraft carrier waiting for them in the Arabian Sea. However, on the way there the zombified body of Osama bin Laden awakens and in the resulting chaos his body is sent to the bottom of the sea. Not long afterward, "Osombie" (played by Walter A. Carmona) stumbles out of the sea and attacks two people on the beach. Recognizing the importance of this event the Taliban not only harbors Osombie but also begins creating even more zombies for use against American forces in Afghanistan. To counter that, a small group of special forces soldiers are sent in to find Osombie and in that regard to fight and kill all of those who stand in their way. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film started off with a ridiculous premise and pretty much remained that way all the way through. Quite surprisingly, there were actually some good action scenes to be found in this movie--but those depicting a female soldier named "Tomboy" (Danielle C. Ryan) wielding a samurai sword in battle certainly didn't help in that regard. In short, I honestly didn't expect much from this film and as a result I wasn't too disappointed.
