Spoilers: The first plot hole is how the sheriff goes from where ever the train drops him off with the rest of the town. He goes back for his wife, and when he gets there (and meets up with his deputy) WHOA! all the cars have boots and there is no transportation. How did he get there again? Then there were a bunch of stupid little things like when the military guys are searching the barn and one of them says to the other, "The military is pulling back to the perimeter." How dumb is the audience supposed to be?
I pretty much hated the wife, who starts out being all strong in the face peril, but the second she gets home she turns into a retard for the rest of the movie. Pretty much every scene was predictable, down to the nuke at the end. Also, I don't know shit about nukes, but I'm pretty sure they were only like 1/2 mile away. If you're close enough to have the blast roll your truck over, aren't you pretty much dead in a few hours? Movie sucked. <<
