10 Action Movies That Looked Awesome But Sucked

In between Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) and Resident Evil: Extinction (2007), Milla Jovovich took a break from playing a superhuman killing machine who saves the world while wearing a tiny outfit to appear in Ultraviolet, where she plays a superhuman killing machine who saves the world while wearing a tiny outfit.

Clad in a midriff-baring bodysuit that changes colour at will, Jovovich plays Violet Song Jat Shariff (V to her friends), a lab worker infected by “HGV” (Hemoglophagia Virus), which gives the recipient super-strength and vampire-like canines. Not so bad, you might think, but there’s a catch: every “hemo” dies within 12 years of being infected.

You see, an American weapons lab discovered the virus and tried to modify it to create super soldiers, but it got loose and caused a pandemic so now the sufferers are being rounded up by The Archministry, a shadowy organization headed by the sinister Daxos (Nick Chinlund). These leads to chase sequences full of incredibly clunky, Tron-like special effects, and if that doesn’t torpedo your enthusiasm, there’s also a ton of deadly dialogue.
