That opening scene sure is dramatic! It works quite well actually. From there the movie gets fairly predictable, even formulaic in spots, but there's enough here to keep us moderately intrigued before the next action sequence kicks in. It's those action sequences that really steal the show, however. There are an amazing scene where Leon is chased down the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway by some of those zombie dogs that pop up now and again throughout the franchise that is remarkably impressive. When Chris and Leon make it into Arias' hideout and come face to face with the zombie hordes that stand between them and their target, the bullet play here is as well choreographed as anything out of a John Wick movie. The action is tight, tense and very bloody. Impressive stuff. If you won't leave this wowed by the story itself, at least the visuals and the carnage go a long way towards making up for it.
This disc starts out with an audio commentary featuring director Takanori Tsujimoto, executive producer Takashi Shimizu and writer Makoto Fukami in which the three participants cover the origin of the script, how it ties into other RE storylines, where some of the ideas for the plot came from, some of the technology used in the film and quite a bit more. This gets pretty technical at times but if you want to know more about how and why the movie turned out the way that it did, this is for you. Like most of the extras on this release, it's in Japanese with English subtitles.
