Very good action/thiller, sets up for a better sequel

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2002)

This movie is not half as bad as people say it is. In fact I was quite suprised by how entertaining it is. The special effects on the zombies are quite good, and the action/gunplay is well done. Milla does quite well in the lead role, although her character doesn't get much of a chance to shine. She seems poised to have a great role in the sequel.
Even the "Red Queen" that everyone seems to hate isn't that annoying, and she's only in about 15 minutes of the movie.
While the film doesn't have the creep/chill/scare factor of the games, over all it is recommened to any fans of action movies. All in all this a good movie that is the prequel to what should be a fantastic film.
