Viewing Notes

Part of my creature feature (which included the first two Anaconda movies), The Breed had promise but just didn’t live up to it.

There are some good, tense scenes, especially when the crazed pack of dogs breaks into the house, which had the beginnings of feeling like the cottage werewolf fight and flight scene in Dog Soldiers, or the room by room battle in the medical center in Aliens (or the infirmary battle in Zulu for that matter), but it ended a little too quickly for it to reach that level of epicness.

You do get to see Michelle Rodriguez in a bathing suit, so there’s that. I saw her in 2009 when she was signing autographs at Chicago Comicon and I can safely say that she’s amazingly beautiful in person, even more so than in any movie I’ve seen her in, this one included.
