For Being U.S. Marshalls They Were'nt Real Bright!

I would certainly expect that a team of experienced U.S. Marshalls
would be very prepared for escorting a federal witness to safety.
After they were stranded in the desert they kept on repeating how
they had no water, food, or any means of communicating with the
U.S. Marshalls office in Los Angeles. Why since they were going on
a very long drive through the desert that they could end up being
so ill prepared and having no backup means of communication?!
Their cellular phones were of no use in the desert and I would
have expected them to have two-way radios or some means of high
tech communication devices handy. And embarking on a trek in
that very hot environment without water and food! Get real, this
was a very implausible part of the script and a big plot hole
as well! They should not have trusted that local sheriff to
contact the federal office in LA and he ended up turning on
the group and murdering the lovely lady marshall! Other than
what I've pointed out the movie was'nt too bad and yet it
could've been much better written. Not bad for the Sci-Fi Channel.

Excellent point Scarekrow9, I noticed the annoying camera shakes
as well. I wonder if that was intentional on the part of the
director and producers? It was very distracting!

It's not as if Marshalls are rocket surgeons. They're just cops. No big deal.

I have to expect a certain amount of suspension of disbelief, but the writers really went out of their way on this one. I knew at the point when the two agents went off to make out while on duty that it wasn't going to improve. And why in hell did they keep SHOOTING the zombies when it obviously had no effect?? Too much stupidity to even start listing. Definitely not a movie for people who are sticklers for accuracy.

Signatures annoy me.
