Most Everything Works in this Stylish Bloodbath

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2015)

This was made (thankfully) back when it was OK for a Comic-Book Movie to Go with an "R" Rating. Nothing else would do For Blade. A Blood Drenched Vampire Movie with a Vampire as the "Hero".
Blade is a Vampire who Loathes Vampires and Devotes His Life to Exterminating His Own Kind. Also, He is a "Daywalker" and that makes Him all the more Dangerous to the "Suck-Heads", and of course, They are Extremely Jealous.
This Action Oriented Hybrid of Vampires and Martial Arts Works more than Fine, it Works to Perfection. Delivering Thrills and Spills Non-Stop for Fans of both Genres. It Wallows in Excessive Killings and SFX Show-Offs.
The Cast is well Placed as both Wesley Snipes and Stephen Dorff are Superb as the Battling Bloodsuckers. The Supporting Cast also Contributes with Kris Kristofferson, Udo Kier, and others making for a Well Rounded Entertainment.
The Story Tries to Open Up a bit with Ancient Rituals, Incantations, and a Resurrection of some kind of "God" from Vampire Lore and although this is the Movie's End Set-Piece it doesn't amount to much more than a Stage to Place the Final Action Confrontation.
Overall, a Well Done Edgy bit of Nastiness that gets Most of it Right, a Visceral, Violent, and Stylish Bloodletting. Isn't that What You Want From This Type of Thing?
