THE MINION is a very poor B-movie spin on a theme popular during the last years of the 1990s, namely demonic possession and end-of-the-world religious mumbo-jumbo. Schwarzenegger's apocalyptic END OF DAYS is the best known of this genre, but that came later; THE MINION's main source of inspiration is the underrated Denzel Washington flick FALLEN, as it borrows that film's figure-hopping demon. Sadly, this is a much lesser production, a Canadian movie made by people who have no idea how to insert tension, thrills and horror into their production. It's cheesy throughout, overacted by an unrestained cast, and the whole thing is a disappointment. Dolph Lundgren's stoic hero deserves better.
