About
You might enjoy this if you want a fast, cheesy action B-movie with lots of gunfire and don’t mind rough edges; Not for you if you expect a faithful game adaptation or sharp storytelling like Alone in the Dark.
Pros: nonstop shootouts; occasional goofy humor; simple premise | Cons: weak acting; bland characters; sloppy, clichéd writing
