The main characters played masterfully by Bill Murray who plays the role of a policeman who is only a couple of days away from retirement and is not able to be amazed by anything, in the midst of his advanced age he believes he has seen everything he could see and maintains an equanimous and excessively calm attitude throughout the film except for some flashes of controlled fury when everything starts to turn into chaos, For his part the actor Adam Driver, represents another cop much younger and with a life in balance and harmony with the environment, is a man who has a reason and explanation for everything that happens in addition to decipher how to solve it. Driver's role is really funny in the midst of his apathy and unconcern for everything, because for fans of the Star Wars movies we will find in this movie "The Dead Don't Die" a series of satirical references regarding his role as Kyo Ren to the point that the keychain he uses is a miniature of his ship in Star Wars the TIE Silencer and when asked about it he says he likes those movies.

This movie for me was really entertaining, I liked it a lot especially because I was establishing connections with those movies that since the late 80's and all the 90's have marked my history as a movie fan, seeing small details of the ghost hunters in everything surrounding Bil Murray, finding the protagonist of Kill Bill in the role of Tilda, the references to Star Wars and others like Night of the Living Dead, Zombieland among others for me was a total enjoyment. As for the music the singer Sturgill Simpson makes a big reappearance with the central theme of the film and that you will enjoy throughout it, this is a country song, I must admit that I love country, excellent really is a beautiful melody that has nothing to do with the comedy but that adapts to the script beautifully. Here is the video of the song, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do:
