The movie subtly examines whether people accustomed to a precise way of life can deal with cataclysmic change; by extension, it implies similar questions about Schwarzenegger's career as he heads toward his seventies, and makes a solid case that more new directions await. Read full review

It's an odd concept, turning a zombie movie into a downbeat actor's showcase, but first-time director Henry Hobson gets great work from a subdued Schwarzenegger and an even better performance from Abigail Breslin in the title role. Read full review

Maggie” is Schwarzenegger’s “Cop Land,” that is, a feature designed to highlight and showcase that which an action movie hero could only hint at in glancing moments between explosions. Read full review

The surprise in Maggie is Abigail Breslin, playing a teenager who flares and burns with dread as she becomes aware of the horror of her infection. For a zombie film, her performance delivers real emotion which is rarely seen in this genre. Read full review

Past the novelty of its conceit and casting, and the animating intelligence of its first-time director, Henry Hobson, Maggie is a bit of a drag. Read full review

Abigail Breslin (“Little Miss Sunshine”) plays the infected daughter. Her performance seems unsettled at first, but it doesn’t take long for Breslin to sink into Maggie’s (rotting) skin, aided by some fine makeup work. Her most effective moments come when the teen faces the inescapability of her death. Read full review

Its creepy atmosphere aside, Maggie is a slog of the living dead. Read full review

Every moment of Maggie is brilliant and emotional. Breslin and Schwarznegger both give solid performances, and the movie is very, very, well written. Henry Hobson has done justice to Arnold fans, and given him the role of his lifetime. I can compare Maggie to my favourite video game, TheEvery moment of Maggie is brilliant and emotional. Breslin and Schwarznegger both give solid performances, and the movie is very, very, well written. Henry Hobson has done justice to Arnold fans, and given him the role of his lifetime. I can compare Maggie to my favourite video game, The Last Of Us. The result is haunting, suspenseful, terrifying and thrilling, every moment was crackling with suspense, an eerie quietness and powerhouse performances and emotions. Wade knows that Maggie will die, but he stays close to her till her last breath. Maggie captures the relationship between a father and her daughter masterfully. It's dark and scary, and meets the requirements of a zombie outbreak and its effect hits home. Maggie deserves a staring ovation. It's brilliantly written, sharply directed, masterfully acted and well executed. Take your father to watch this one, it's a love letter to all fathers in the whole world. Being a father himself, Schwarznegger beautifully captures a role of a father struggling to help his daughter before she turns into the things he most hates. Maggie deserves to be watched. 10/10.… Expand

I honestly can say that I did not find any flaws with this movie, due the fact that I was so engrossed in this masterpiece.

Maggie is a very powerful drama. The acting was top notch from all of the actors, the characters' reactions were believable and the movie was very interesting to watch. While some people might find this film too slow and the ending wasn't perfect, it definitely exceeded my expectations.

This was a wonderful movie about a family having to deal with the inevitable death of their daughter. It touches on death and knowing that a loved one will die and how people around them cope with it. Great movie

Nothing new to see here. Some good scenes about a person dealing with the inevitability of turning into a zombie, but really didn't dive into anything we haven't already seen from a Walking Dead episode.

Trash, nothing but total trash from beginning to end. A melodramatic bore that failed on nearly every level. Contrived, torturous and the fact Arnold Schwarzenegger is in this type of role is a failure in of itself.
