Interview with the Vampire

Rating: 1/10 (27 January 2013)

This film was released in 1994. Fortunately for the studio, at this time, Tom Cruise was at the height of his stardom following blockbusters such as Top Gun and Days of Thunder and dramas such as Rain Man and Born on the Fourth of July. Brad Pitt was a young , up and coming star as well. Audiences, particularly female flocked to see these two together in an action film. The film is entertaining for a short period of time(10 minutes, but it quickly becomes an endless montage of useless, emotionless action sequences and Cruise , Pitt and Antonio Banderas, who shows up randomly halfway through the film, saying bad dialog with slow, wannabe sexy expressions on their face. I won't spoil the ending, or any of the second half, but suffice to say, I was not particularly impressed. The film has no tragic or moral implications about what being a vampire is like. Unfortunately, it is simply a vehicle for big film stars to deliver lazy performances. cruise, Pitt, and company come off as posers. Don't waste your time.
