In the middle of this crossed-fire is - an infected woman - Ultraviolet (Jovovich), who finds herself protecting a nine-year-old boy who has been marked for death by the human government as he is believed to be a threat to humans.

I could stare at Milla Jovovich all day, but you know, her movies just aren't very good.

I always get suckered into watching a movie with a pretty lady and action and I always regret it. This movie was no different.

And it probably wont be the last either one I get suckered into watching either. I will never learn my lesson.

Horrible movie and almost laughable action sequences.

The commercials for this movie told me that this movie is gonna suck.

It drags, but some of the action scenes are pretty good. Can't say I would reccomend it.

It was better than Aeon Flux, IMO. Both try to make a movie out of a good-looking woman wearing tight, skimpy clothing and singlehandedly destroying armies of men. I just thought that Milla was more entertaining than Charlize. Plus, Pete Posthelwaite was freaking me out in Aeon Flux!
