Coolest escape ever? It could be when Alice (Milla Jovovich) is chased by Nemesis (Matthew Taylor) and she barrels through a window, slips into the offices and finds herself stranded in a blind hallway. Without hesitating, she bullets a hole in the wall, slides onto her back with guns blazing backwards over her head to slow down Nemesis, hurtles into an air shaft, slides down into a basement, tips over a dumpster just before an explosive round detonates in the shaft.

We all dream about running off to exotic climes to participate in high adventure with shady characters who turn out to have hearts of gold. Not many of us make it to the airport let alone plan what to pack. But it keeps us sane when our day takes a turn for the worse like getting splashed by a bus or being cut off by a marauding speeder on the freeway. But it is worth continuing to dream those dreams. Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) is one of those dreamy folks who happens to find herself in Columbia to ransom her sister and literally runs into a profiteering soldier of fortune, Jack Colton (Michael Douglas). While trying to get back to civilization, a misstep sends them both careening down the mud-soaked side of a mountain ending up with Jack’s face ending up planted in Joan’s crotch.

Is there such a thing as overkill? Our vamp Lilith (Eileen Daley) sucks the life out of her victim and then pops him three times with her pistol. But then she is part assassin. But her escape is impeded by two tennis-playing bodyguards. With a vague aim, she fire off a couple of rounds missing each one. I guess she is a short-range assassin.

Pressed to the floor by his bodyguard for his own protection, Dorothy Macha (Ray Liotta) looks into the face of his assassin (Kamay Lau), masquerading as a waitress. She has been shot in the neck by Sorter (Mark Strong), Macha’s button man, but she know she can blast her target if only she can reach her gun and pull the trigger. Macha is in a panic as he realizes he is in even greater danger by being held down. With all of the crowd noise, all he can do is squirm and scream.

The process of tracking someone is more of an art than a science. Figuring out where they are going and what they are doing is not a challenge for amateurs. Deidre (Natascha McElhone) and Sam (Robert De Niro) make it look easy but it could serve as a textbook example as the pose as tourists taking snapshots, having coffee at a local bistro and generally almost being in the way of their prey.

Doberman Pinschers get little respect. They’re test animals who fall infected by the virus let loose in the Umbrella Corporation testing lab. Escaping from their pens, they go looking for prey. Unfortunately for them, they find Alice (Milla Jovovich). At least they’re not American Staffordshire Terriers.

It’s never a good thing to try and fool your family with a scheme to return to their good graces. The repercussions can be savage and brutal. Any hope for forgiveness is unlikely. Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) has been kicked out onto the street, he is broke and now homeless. He finds out that his wife, Etheline (Anjelica Huston) is considering marrying her accountant, Henry Sherman (Danny Glover). So Royal devises a plot to convince Etheline that he has stomach cancer in order to win her back as well as the affections of his estranged children. But his symptoms are unlike any other case of stomach cancer.

Sometimes what you realize that you don’t know as much as you think you do. Proto-vampire Sadie (Lucy Liu) is killing those who turned her. She finds Eve (Carla Gugino) in a lounge and is about to stake her with a crossbow, when Eve tries to persuade and seduce her with information and misdirection. Sadie may be a novice and in need of some context for her future, but a silver tongue will only take you so far.

In a delightful skirmish of words we discover that Sadie’s saviour isn’t what he seems to be. Eve isn’t as charming as she thinks she is. And Sadie isn’t as gullible as Eve hopes.

Why is it that those who run science think they can demand results? Simply making the demand cannot guarantee them. Then raising the threat of replacement by those who will compounds the stupidity. On the other hand, when it is Umbrella Corporation scientist Dr. Sam Isaacs (Iain Glen) there may be some merit in such a crackdown. He is cloning Alice (Milla Jovovich), running deadly rat maze tests on her and finally stuffing himself with what he thinks is a solution to the zombie virus based upon her blood. He needs somebody in control before he goes off the deep end. Oops, too late.

It is my fervent hope that Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker got paid an boatload to assuage the shame of having this on their resume. But Paris sure is alluring in the movie. And was that Roman Polanski doing the cavity search?

How screwed up would you be if you found out that both your mom and your grandma slept with the same guy? Beau Burroughs (Kevin Costner) has had his way with both. Sarah Huttinger (Jennifer Aniston) thinks Beau might be her father. When he’s proven not to be and she’s quite irked bythe circumstances, she sets off with this smoothie and soon finds herself in a quandry. She has the chance to follow in the footsteps of both women. Well, why not? All it might cost her is her future.

What does it take to kill some guys? Sasha (Ivan Petrushinov), a Russian gangster, is left lying inside his car with a bullet through his head. It was put there by Nick Cherenko (Dolph Lundgren) who, after the killing of his wife and son in a firefight, popped him and fled to the USA. Now maybe seven years later, he is approached by a woman who wants him to rescue her daughter who has been kidnapped and sold into a white slavery ring run by none other than the aforementioned Sacha. Nick has some ideas that he’d like to try out to make sure that he is able to put Sasha down permanently.
