Despite obvious plot holes (knowing there's an airborne virus reanimating dead cells, would you pass through a cemetery?), RE2 works best when you suspend common sense (don't they all), and just watch the pretty pictures. Speaking of which, this time, Alice is joined by suspended cop Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory), whose first impulse when the zombie riots reach critical mass, is to walk the streets in a tube top and miniskirt, guns blazing. Other cops in full body armor are systematically whittled down as zombie snacks, while Jill never even gets licked. In blending the game storyline, the Nemesis creation (ugly 8-foot jacked-up armored zombie) and Alice seem to be unwilling products of the same super soldier program, and form an alliance against the common enemy.
"You want to play, Croft? Then slap leather!" (ok, that sounded kinky)
Oded Fehr (The Mummy) returns to the big screen as another badass cop, while Mike Epps provides some snorts as a gun-toting comedy relief (what really his role is here, ma at pa). The ending provides some intrigue as Alice is seemingly turned into a double agent to hunt down the remaining agents opposing the Corporation. That only means one thing - another RE movie!
Factoid: Jovovich is banging the screenwriter and the original film's director, Paul WS Anderson. Need we say more?
