A violent work of art! 9 out of 10!

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2002)

A perfect amalgamation of Blade I and Aliens, this movie is what action adventure movies should be...A VIOLENT WORK OF ART WHERE THE GOOD(?) GUYS KICK BUT!!! Gory alien otherness, a handful of (very cool) heroes we love to hate versus hordes of ghouls, and some interesting plot twists and betrayals make for an enjoyable 1 hour and 48 minutes. While the action was not quite as good as the Matrix it more than made up in quantity what it lacked in quality. Some minor plot flaws, could have had a bit more character development, but overall very entertaining. Surprisingly touching ending...or sappy depending on your POV...but I liked it. Definitely worth a full admission.
