Not too bad

Rating: Null/10 (10 October 2003)

BLADE (1998) **1/2 (D:Stephen Norrington) - Wesley Snipes plays it fairly straight. Kris Kristofferson is well-used as the mentor of the half-vampire Blade. Stephen Dorff makes for a good villain, and Udo Kier is even on hand as a member of the Undead. A dark, solid action film (like BATMAN '89). Its liabilities include too many vampire obscenities and those typically awful CGI effects.
