Decemberdike # 20 Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)
Solid is a term i really don't care for when it comes to discussing films and yet it seems the most appropriate to use were i to describe this movie in a single word.
It's story is a solid reworking of the early video games whilst the cast is also made up of solid dependable names you'll have seen in various tv productions such as Kaya Scodelario, Robbie Amell, Donal Logue, Tom Hopper and Neal McDonough among others. Director Johannes Roberts is solidly assured and the script solid enough to keep you invested in all the various characters.
Although not particularly scary there's a nice atmosphere to events in Raccoon City and later the mansion and police station and the action scenes are fun if not all that original. This isn't a remarkable film by any means, merely solid you might say.
