There’s no overselling the importance of Resident Evil. Oh, and Nicole Tompkins brought us the best version of Jill Valentine that there’s ever been – don’t even try debating me on this. Neil Newbon’s performance as Nicholai balances ham with genuinely vile intentions to marvelous effect. It also has the best dialogue and acting in franchise history.
