Well, well, well, what have we here?

Rating: 6/10 (1 April 2002)

Looks like a zombie shoot-em-up! But the biggest surprise about Resident Evil was that it was actually a pretty good movie.
It wasn't all that suspenseful, but one of its many virtues is that it never talked down to the audience. The plot always remained under a veil, and the audience, along with the main character, never gets to see the whole of it together.
There's a fair amount of gore here.
Don't kid yourself. This is a zombie shoot-em-up. As such, it has pretty good dialogue, characterization, and plotting. Don't go in expecting something that will change the world, but do go in expecting a pleasant, mildly thrilling action flick, with lots of exploding bodies and bloodbaths.
