Far Better than most Action Movies

Rating: 7/10 (14 April 2002)

This movie succeeds in two of the hardest tasks out there: To make a good action movie AND to make a good movie out of a video-game. Fast, modern and very well directed, Resident Evil is fun and smart. It´s no masterpiece, of course, since it´s focused on action and adventure. Therefore, it presents a convincing and unpredictable plot, what´s indeed rare in this genre. Milla Jovovich is great as an action actress. Perhaps she finally found her ground in movie-making. I am also expecting a sequel, and I believe there is going to be one.
7/10 in general 9/10 as an action movie
