Anybody ever see the movie "Doomsday"? (spoilers) WTF?

I'm a sucker for killer virus movies, so picked this one up at my local red box place...

but, after the two cars go through The Wall - they run into a herd of cows. Why aren't the survivors eating the cows instead of being cannibals? That was a friggin' huge herd of cows...

and, they're in two armored vehicles that can withstand 30mm rounds and chemical weapons, but the glass windows are about as strong as cellophane?

On the plus side, Rhona Mitra, the actress that played Eden Sinclair, was rather attractive, but played a pretty good bad-ass.

3. sure

why aren't the survivors eating that massive herd of cows?

and, why does an armored vehicle that can withstand 30mm rounds and chemical weapons have glass that is less strong than cellophane?

4. The virus caused them to prefer the taste of human flesh, maybe

I haven't seen the movie, but probably will at some point. As for the weak glass, it's probably just for dramatic effect. If they made the armored vehicle totally impregnable, it would not contribute to the action/suspense/excitement of the story.

5. Who was the actress with the face tattoos?

Let's hope there's a Doomsday II. Maybe there'll be answers.

I thought it was a fun, mindless popcorn flick. Just put your brain up on the closet shelf before watching.

6. The actress that played Viper was Lee-Anne Lieibenberg

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0509322/

Mostly done stunt work before this role - but, did have a credit as "Woman in bikini" in another movie.

7. It was so awful that it was good

Gratuitous, ridiculous over the top violence, check; cannibal post-apocalyptic punk bikers, check; neo-medieval feudal lords, check. Yeah, it was a good ride, provided you have no expectations for quality or intelligence.
