#NotMyLeon The worst thing about this movie is the casting. Most of the cast do not look, or behave as they would traditionally from the games. How hard is it to do that? The sets are great(even if underutilized), but the awkward song selections, and comedic moments abruptly break the tone too often. Closer here, but still misses the mark. Better than most of the Jovovich W.S. Anderson films for at least trying to adapt the source material more faithfully. 3/5

I agree the Jovovich films were garbage, and had little to do with the games, but couldn’t disagree more on the cast - I think they were great in this, and a lot more believable than Mila as a super agent lol. This is a solid film.

Neal McDonough as the doctor is perfect, he’s a great actor. Chris and Claire and Jill are all great. Leon is something of an interpretation of the game Leon, to be sure, but the game Leon was just as clueless at the beginning of the game, which I think they captured here.
