the horde (2009)

aka La Horde.
"Don't let one person into this building, not a soul."
Captured by a drugs gang, things look bleak for four cops. Then things get bleaker, as they see their city suddenly overrun by hoards of zombies. The only way they can survive is to team up with the gang, and fight their way out of the tower block they are barricaded inside of.
Well made actioner, with lots of gore, but full of instantly dis-likable characters. Worse still, none of them seem to learn from their experiences. For example, they soon find out that the only way to take a zombie down is a head shot, so why do they spend the rest of the movie wasting bullets shooting them everywhere but the head! Add to that a plot full of holes, and you've got a film that necessitates alcohol to stem the tide of questions it leaves you asking.
