fun action

Rating: 6/10 (31 October 2013)

Blade (Wesley Snipes) is born to a mother who was bit by a vampire. This gave him superpowers which he uses to battle evil vampires with the help of Whistler (Kris Kristofferson). The robotic acting from Wesley Snipes and the constant cool pose fighting are what makes this a fun watch.
The story seems like just filler for the next action scene. Stephen Dorff and Udo Kier make for good creepy villains. The dialog is fairly lackluster. The production value is good for this B-movie. It does have a dull look to it all, and needs more flash. If you love blood splattering gore, this is a good watch.
N'Bushe Wright plays the doctor that Blade rescues from a vampire. She's not up to scratch. She doesn't have the screen presence or the joyful innocence to provide a good foil to Snipes. She's almost as robotic as Blade.
