good action film

Rating: 7/10 (23 January 2005)

let me make it clear. this is not a horror, this is an action. you don't jump out of your seat, you don't go to bed with nightmares. instead you watch an action which happens to have vampires in. maybe if the vampires didn't look so fake then it would scarier. however, its not for the faint hearted, its gruesome to say the least. the melting of a fat naked he-she vampire librarian, and the killing of the head vampire made me cringe. the action sequences are good, not a patch on other actions films, but still great for a 'horror'. Wesley snipes plays the role well and looks the part. the story is over the top with a 'hip' bad guy played with relish by Stephan Doriff. the fight at the end is great, and Wesley snipes' attitude adds humour to not only that but the whole film. if this film hadn't tried to be a horror but being an action instead id have given it 8 but the attempts at scary moments makes the film seem worse off. but the blood shedding fight scenes and good acting adds depth and ill give 7/10.
