Hard to review without, so - Spoilers -
Paulino Nunes did a great job as Mr. Godfrey, he was creepy and weird, Anna Ferguson as Esther was exceptionally weird, especially when she somehow became a martial arts expert mid way through, that was rather disjointed, but in keeping with the allusion that the "Twins" are some kind of demonic duo.
The overall concept of the movie was rather good hard Sci-Fi. One index card for each person on earth and by changing the status on the index card, you change the actual status of its associated human. They stayed committed to this, till the end.
Side note. 7.5 Billion humans, works out to roughly 9100 Pallets loads of about 1.8 metric Tonnes of index cards each. If stacked 3 pallets high, you'd need a warehouse of at least 4,000 Square Metres, I think their warehouse is a little undersized.
The other acting/scripting was rather lacklustre, in my opinion.
Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Mort, was a very likable character, until he became a zombie, then there was little acting required of him. He became the comic relief, to some extent, and it was mostly toilet humour, not really in fitting with the tone of the rest of the movie.
The other employees of Godfrey Global were each stereotypes to one degree or another, the compulsive suck up, the nerdy office girl with a troubled home life, the seemingly worldly wise secretary with a bit of a reputation for entertaining in the broom closet. Each of their characters changed somewhat mid way through, after they realised the truly Global scale of their bosses machinations. The character changes were mostly for the better, they all became much more likable for it, and gave the viewer a bit more to invest in them.
The ending was in keeping with the bleak tone of the film, with just a glimmer of hope in the blank index cards acquired by Janet. The lack of explanation of anything really, was rather annoying, a little exposition might have been a bit of a gift to the viewer, but we were sadly deprived.
Overall, good concept, some good acting, mediocre special effects, disjointed character development. 4/10
