blood and beauty mix in Ford Coppola's masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2009)

This film is incredible. The special effects, the story, and the attention to detail stay loyal to Stoker's novel (which I have read) with a little leeway for the director to work. The acting is top-notch, featuring Keanu Reeves who does his best with the British accent and Gary Oldman, who gives in my opinion the performance of the century. His portrayal of Dracula is horrifying, heartbreaking and suave all at the same time (think of a mix between James Bond, Hannibal Lector and an actual bat). Ford Coppola's direction is astounding, which does not surprise due to the magic of the Godfather. If you do not mind blood, you like action, romance or a good monster movie, see this. You will be disappointed only that the movie ended.
