Review by Bob Ignizio
Filmmaker Paul W.S. Anderson makes
crap, but he makes fun, unpretentious crap that delivers exactly what
his audiences want. Maybe you weren't begging for a fifth installment
of Anderson's RESIDENT EVIL
zombie action film series, but make no mistake, there are plenty of folks who were.
Me, I could take it or leave it, but RESIDENT EVIL:
RETRIBUTION is an enjoyable
enough hunk of cheese that I didn't regret my decision to watch it.
There's
some attempt at the beginning of the film to get audiences up to
speed on what happened in the previous four installments, but logic
and coherency have never really been the strong points of this
franchise. These movies are all about Milla Jovovich as Alice shooting
lots of creepy things while looking sexy, and that's pretty much what
we have here once again.
