Great martial-arts action

Blade, played by Wesley Snipes, is a half-vampire, half-human, who became that way when his mother was giving birth to him just after being bitten by a vampire. He has lost most of the weaknesses of the vampire, but he still craves blood like vampires, and he has retained most of their strengths. Together with a man named Whistler, played by Kris Kristofferson, Blade wages war on the vampires with an array of different weapons. His main enemy, Deacon Frost, played by Stephen Dorff, a vampire overlord.
Without really needing great acting, Blade boasts some of the fastest martial-arts action which is very entertaining. I warn the faint-hearted to avoid this, though, as it one of the most violent and gory films that I've seen. This film has a fantastic techno soundtrack booming behind all the martial-arts throughout, and the ending is a very good one. I would recommend Blade to people who can stand lots of violence and enjoy action, otherwise you should probably give it a miss.
