Tragedy

Rating: 1/10 (15 January 1999)

Do you believe in Action Movies? Yeah! Do you believe they have a meaning besides Action? Yeah! Do you believe in Kris Kristofferson? Yeah! Do you believe he's an actor? Yeah! Well, then do anything - but don't watch Blade. By the way, whoever thought, Wesley Snipes or Stephen Dorff are
actors worth watching should turn to other movies as well. Blade is definitely not a movie for actors. Nor for audiences.
Except if you want a completely incoherent and foreseeable plot (a
paradoxon? - wait till you see it) and special effects that make
you laugh until you cry while going to sleep (a paradoxon again?
No, a kind of Yoga to keep you alive). Anyway, those who like
though father-figures who smoke while handling gasoline, and
those who like son-like-characters who are surprised that
father-figures meet a violent and tragic end while they
encounter their true but resistant love, will really enjoy
Blade. Not to forget those who enjoy cardboard-characters,
cliché plots and martial-art-fights. Oh, and I almost forgot
those who believe that fast cuts, dark lighting and "original"
angles make a great director.
