It's been nearly 30 years since Paul W.S. Anderson dropped one of the most beloved video game adaptations in cinema history, and we're putting it on the slab.

We break down what the film got right, why it connected with a generation of fans, and whether it deserves a place in the conversation alongside the best action horror hybrids of the decade. Plus, we talk about what the original got that the 2021 reboot missed entirely. This one gets into it.
