The first and best!

Rating: 7/10 (24 May 2005)

Blade is one mean brother who is half human, half vampire. He has all of their strengths and none of their weaknesses. During the night he kicks vampire ass all over the city. Lucky he's on our side!! The first and easily the best in the trilogy, BLADE is wall to wall action from the opening scene (at a vampire dance party) to the closing credits. Blade must find and destroy Deacon Frost before he becomes a vampire god! Wesley Snipes is perfectly cast as Blade, and is backed up by solid performances by Kris Kristofferson as his mentor Whistler. Stephen Dorff tries his best but in my opinion is miscast as Deacon Frost. He looks like a stiff breeze could blow him over and is in no way threatening. Aside from this BLADE is a very slick, highly enjoyable horror / action flick!
