Alice fights alongside a resistance movement in the continuing battle against the Umbrella Corporation and the undead.
Like warrior Alice, we are getting tired of being confronted with the latest machinations of a soulless corporation. But like the zombies, this putrid film series just will not die.
Is Retribution a good film, no, but will you be bored, no (also feel free to add another two stars to the rating if you are a fifteen-year-old boy).
It almost seems churlish to wish for more from a franchise that appears increasingly locked into a standard pattern. But more than ever, it feels like time to give it a rest and try something else. Just not more Three Musketeers, please.
Giant brains with teeth, suburban mutant zombies, more bullets than a John Woo film festival, and hot girls in skin-tight S&M outfits pummelling each other to a deafening dubstep soundtrack. If you're looking for brainless, blood-guzzling carnage, you've found it.
