Bearable second time round

Rating: 6/10 (14 July 2001)

First time I saw this, I thought it was utterly pants and didn't enjoy it at all. In fact, I'd have given it a 1.
On second viewing, it actually isn't that bad, and is far better on the small screen.
Wesley Snipes is half vampire [his mother was bitten when she gave birth to him] and his life is dedicated to some kind of revenge, in eradicating them from the planet.
The action scenes are well choreographed, Snipes is better than he usually is [not wooden at all for most of the film], and even an appearance by the under-rated Kris Kristofferson can be spotted as this comes towards what is a rather predictable climax, though well put together.
One for watching by the less serious moviegoer, it's hardly Citizen Kane, but then again it's not Billy Zane either.
