Despite appearing in two Resident Evil films it feels like the series wasted Michelle Rodriguez's talents, as her other franchise roles have shown.
Despite appearing in two of the films, Michelle Rodriguez keeps proving all the ways the Resident Evil franchise wasted her. Rodriguez first broke through with her lead turn in 2000's Girlfight and swiftly appeared in back-to-back hits like The Fast And The Furious and S.W.A.T. The actor has stayed consistently busy in the decades since, ranging from the highs of the later Fast & Furious sequels and Avatar to the lows of 2016's turgid The Assignment.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One of her earliest, post-Girlfight roles came with 2002's Resident Evil, based on Capcom's hit video game. The original was sold as a two-hander between Rodriguez and Milla Jovovich's Alice, with the former playing a commando whose team ends up trapped in an underground lab filled with zombies.
Resident Evil Wasted Michelle Rodriguez's Talents Considering the way the Resident Evil movies became so focused on Jovovich's Alice, it's almost hard to recall how important Rain was in the first entry. She gets nearly as much action as Alice, and her infection becomes a major ticking clock in the second half. The burgeoning friendship between Rain and Alice makes her death sting all the more, while she and Jovovich shared good chemistry.
Rodriquez has shown a talent for overcoming even the most thinly written roles and is one of the most underrated female action stars of her generation. There's a reason Letty's role in the Fast & Furious saga has only gotten bigger, as she can not only handle the fistfights and vehicles, but she's an emotional anchor for them too. Her dual roles in Retribution even gave her a chance to show off her comic chops, but she ultimately didn't have much to do outside the action.
