The film is still very good, it is the classic routine of director David Ducey. With Milla Jovovich, you can give this film 2 points, plus the dreamy resort, the pleasant environment created by the sun, forest, beach, and the heroic fighting perverted stalks are enough to make people happy. From the habitual suspicion of Nick and his wife at the beginning of the film, to the dialogue in the tent on the rainy night, the ending has been guessed. Despite the premature revelation of the truth, the fights that follow are fascinating. An undead hero, a powerful beauty, a criminal who removes the shackles, and a beautiful love, happy ending. The film finds a point between suspense and thriller, and stops there. The downside is that the narrative of the flashback is too full, and the twist is too round. In fact, a few simple shots are enough.
Extended Reading
-
Nick: Those boys are comin' in heavy, you might want to hang back and let 'em do their thing.
-
Cliff: So you were like Special Ops. What were you Seals? Rangers?
Nick: Officially, I'm only allowed to say that I've been a sworn officer participating in a phase of certain missions that would make most men want to crawl up and hide inside their own assholes.
Cydney: and unofficially?
Nick: I'm a goddamn American Jedi. Possible title number one, by the way.
Nick: Hey, see this? Took a frag from a Bouncing Betty. It's an antipersonnel mine. Caved in the back of my fucking head. Medevaced out to Germany. Got my skull rebuilt with space-age titanium. Can't go through a metal detector without ringing cherries, but that's cool. Let's me travel with Gilligan just about wherever I want.
Cydney: Gilligan?
Nick: My little buddy
Cliff: That's some toothpick
Nick: Here's the kicker, though. When I took that shrapnel, I never felt it. I mean, I felt the impact and I felt my backside go all wet, but no real pain. Now, maybe I don't recall the events in full. They did scoop out a little gray Spam back there, but get this. My wolf pack? They will swear that I was ambulatory for more than 17 minutes before they forced me to lie down. Tackled me. Even then I was looking to monkey-fuck a Marlboro Light. There's no nerve endings in the brain Cliff. Remember that when you write the scene.
Cliff: Yeah, there's some really good details there.
Gina: Yeah, he's really hard to kill.
