When I saw the amount of great actors in this as well as the trailer I thought I was going to be in for a treat. Man oh man was I wrong. While it isn't worst movie I ever seen its pretty bad on quite few levels. Which is shame because it had to the ability to be good.
First lets start with the acting. The only actor I thought did excellent was Theo Rossi he played an excellent villian and was highly entertaining throughout. Not much good be said about his supporting cast. Bruce was as wood as ever and phoned in another cash grab. Mike Tyson looked out of place completely. Thomas jane was boring or choppy. Lastly Clive Standan was ok but I just don't feel he was convincing in hero like role.
Second the low budget on this movie was greatly showing at times. Some scenes characters would find out things out of the blue with no direction from anyone else. Scenes would go from light outside to dark immediately. Plus cheap looking fire fights and action.
Last but not least the story while done millions of times before as whole was ok. But it could been lot better, I felt that the plot was confusing to begin with and therefore set the odd tone throughout. It needed to be better executed.
Overall is this worth a watch? Once Id say yes if you're looking to kill time. But outside of that avoid recommending or watching this with other people.

Honestly this was one of the worst movies I've seen in awhile. It was draggy, boring, and low budget. On top of the fact that the entire movie is in just one location. Jake gives his best effort as always, which is why this is rated a 2 instead of 1 but other than that nothing here is good. Avoid at all costs.
I'm huge fan of video game series beating every single one ever made. While that could make my opinion biased. I'm reviewing this solely based on the movie itself.
I wanted to like the movie, I truely did because it had potential and I even argued with few my friends while we were watching. However by the time the credits rolled through I too was dissapointed.
First the first half of the movie is insanely draggy. Like literally nothing happening at all just alot of non-sensical dialogue. I say that because the movie squandered an opportunity that could been used as good introduction for all the main characters. Secondly the movie is bereft of all scares. They hardly attempted any jump scenes or anything that could make the viewer terrified. The zombies & creatures were also terribly done. Lastly the movie lacked overall action. Sure a couple scenes had guns blazing and weren't bad but you could literally blink and they were over.
With all this said the only reason I'm giving the movie any stars at all is due to it including several characters from the series, as well as an attempt at the source material from the first and second game.
Outside of that I recommend the film be avoided at all costs for fans and non-fans alike. I found the Alice series films way better then this nonsense.
