There are sacrifices made to save the children as the group moves through a city in flames.

This tension is reinforced by the film's score, composed by frequent Guy Ritchie collaborator John Murphy. These factors, as well as the human drama of the survivors bonding together, help keep the movie from becoming a more rote tale of survival in a familiar apocalyptic scenario. The tension is enhanced if one has seen the first film these viewers will know the power of the Rage Virus, the speed with which it takes effect and the absolute chaos that erupted from its initial spread.
