Finally, a movie for people who love shooter video games but are terrible at aiming.
Of the many running gags in the new Resident Evil, the one that amused me the most was the protagonist's frustration with guns. The character, a medical courier named Bryan, first discovers a pistol, and then a shotgun, and then eventually heavier weaponry, in an escalating power progression that mirrors the common gaming trope. He has to root through drawers for bullets and food, maneuver conveniently placed ladders, shoot a maddening number of padlocked gates, and defend himself against all manner of creepy-crawly monsters.
