What a shocker

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2002)

Went into this movie not knowing what to expect, when I orignally saw the trailer I was extremely disappointed with how the film looked, but after seeing the commercial on tv a few times, I realized it may have potential, but due to the fact that it was a video game movie, I still kept the expectations low, (even thought it was done by the same guy who did Mortal Kombat which is an awesome movie). The movie started off a little slow, but picked up pretty quick, Milla Jovovich ruled, Michelle rodriguez played her "tough chic" role, but pulled it off, I kind of wanted a little more out of Eric Mabius, I think he has potential as an actor but all and all the acting was pretty good for this kind of flik. The biggest fear I had going into this movie was that I didn't think it would stick to the same formula as the games, but it did, almost to a key. The movie's score was done by Mr. Marilyn Manson which was excellent, added extra creepiness to the atmosphere. All and all I really enjoyed this movie, and I would recommend it to fans of the games and to anyone looking for a wild ride. 10/10
