Not Quite the Film to get worked up about

Rating: 5/10 (2 November 2005)

This is a film that is talked about...especially by Robert Rodriguez fans. Unfortunately they would be the only ones who I think would love this film.
The biggest problem I had with this film is the fact that it was poorly distributed and spanned out. The film's runtime is 1:43mins and the main plot concerning the vampires does not come in until and hour into it. I would suggest a longer time with the vampires and a little less with the two brothers (Clooney and Tarantino). The vampire 'segment' of the film went by way too quick. One minute they walk into the vampire-infested strip bar and the next they are fleeing from the bar with blood-stained, ripped clothes.
But, the gore was necessary and somewhat...entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed the action sequences, and also Clooney's performance was surprisingly exceptional.
This is not the kind of film to see if you are not into the cliché of supernatural villains, but nonetheless, enjoyable.......2.5 stars out of 5.
