There’s so much weirdness about Maggie. The fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger is starring in a low-budget, indie zombie drama. That the movie, which is about a father protecting his infected daughter, basically makes him the Governor from The Walking Dead. But most of all, that his performance is apparently “superb.”
But watch this trailer and see if Schwarzenegger doesn’t look like he’s giving a retrained, anguished performance as a man torn between protecting his child and preventing her from eating the brains of his neighbors. He looks worn down in a way that I’ve never seen Schwarzenegger before. I don’t know if Maggie can possibly live up to these expectations — pun not intended* — but I’m eagerly looking forward to finding out.
