Laura says: “Jovovich shows a lot of presence as the tough zombie warrior with a humanistic streak that may be a cover for prior crimes. GIRLFIGHT’S Michelle Rodriguez is typecasting herself into a corner with her pugilistic pout. The rest of the cast is comprised of somewhat familiar faces who do little to distinguish themselves, although Salmon’s calm recalls the lone, brave black hero of Romero’s touchstone zombie film.” 3 cats

Robin says: “RESIDENT EVIL is not new and different, but it throws enough stuff at you so you don’t think about having seen it all before. The quality of the action yarn belies its vid game roots and stands up with the best of the modern B monster movies.” 3 1/2 cats
