AvP was a superb video game, but a pointless & gawd-awful movie. The only thing of interest was the casting of Ewan "Spud" Bremner and that bloke from Glasgow with the scarface - Tommy Flanagan.
Much more interesting that the movie itself, is Mr Flanagan's story - he was the victim of an unprovoked attack where he was stabbed, almost killed and left badly disfigured.
As a way of therapy, his wife and Bobby Carlyle suggested he take up acting and he's been in Braveheart, Gladiator, Sin City, Charlie's Angels. Smokin Aces, AvP and a host of other movies. An uplifting story I think.
