Mayhem (去死吧!老闆) is an 2017 film. The movie stars Steven Yeun and Samara Weaving.
Steven Yeun plays a lawyer at a law firm, Derek Cho. The world was recently exposed to a virus that caused humans to loose their sense of self and go crazy. When a cure is found, it went to court. The decision of the court was that while infected with the virus, they are not responsible for the crimes they commit, not matter how heinous. When a lawyer representing some down and out folks, Melanie Cross played by Samara Weaving, teams up with Cho out of necessity. When the virus hits the office, Cho and Cross go on a rampage!
This movie was so awesome. I am going to have to pick up the digital copy someday when its on sale. I loved the concept. The dialogue was snappy and centered on realism.
Zombie movie with Yeun's past? Check, this was so far from that and a new concept, it stands on its own. I hope Yeun will be able to get more and more parts. Not like this, but more of anything. Yeun is awesome.
Samara Weaving is awesome too. At first, I didn't know what her character meant to the story. But she became the awesome counterpart to Cho. You might have noticed her in another indie film recently, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (意外). Keep it going.
