Review:

If I were an Hollywood actor. And I was asked to be in a film, where my romantic interest was played by Milla Jovovich, I Don't think even if I channeled Marlon Brando, that I could even pretend to act like I was physically attracted to her. But even so, once you get past her Euro-trash exterior, you get her horrible, awful acting style. The woman who in every other movie plays the same character she did in the Resident Evil movies, when she is playing a non-physically demanding role, where she has to play a helpless, scared woman the only thing she can do is become a paranoid, borderline schizophrenic. The concept of the film is stupid. She gets so scared that she can't recognize faces of anyone, even if she knows them. (I understand that this is supposedly a real traumatic symptom), but you get to spend the whole movie watching Milla be confused as to who this person is, does she know them & pretend that she knows how to act. The one saving grace of the film, is the constant face changes that she sees. They hired legit 20 actors/actresses that all looked about 90% the same, so that every time she saw someone they would look similar but different at the same time. Sometimes they would be in the same scene where they would go off camera & then come back on camera looking different. Julian McMahon (Dr. Doom himself) grows a terrible looking mustache & put on what looks like 20lbs of fat in his face for this movie. Either that or he realized after Nip/Tuck his career has peaked so he's taken the Val Kilmer route of, who gives a fuck what I look like, I'll take any role they offer me, stance. The movie has 10 minutes of action at the beginning & 10 minutes of action at the end. Everything in between is completely forgettable & I would say irrelevant considering I watched it & can't remember anything that happens in the middle.
