could be better

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2002)

The latest in the long line of video game adaptations is just as unremarkable as its predecessors. The overly and needlessly convoluted story centers around an elite SWAT team that infiltrates an underground genetic research laboratory on a deadly mission to investigate a biological virus that has contaminated the lab and mutated everyone into flesh-eating zombies. Like most films of this only marginally successful genre there are some exciting moments of action and violence, but the film is poorly directed, lacks tension, and has a frustrating tendency to let its music drown everything out. Had potential, but it's far too incoherent to succeed. **
