The film follows Doug MacRay, a bank robber, and his team as they run through a series of jobs which lead to Doug wanting to finally get […]

The Resident Evil franchise has its lovers and haters. I personally loved the first film. I think it stayed true to the concept of the game and the genre, but it deviated itself from the story of the game. Some people are upset with this, but I was happy. The second film felt much more […]
