Not quite Buffy

Rating: Null/10 (13 March 2004)

Such crisp colors, unusual and creative camera angles, and modern-sounding music. And the killing and maiming and high-pressure blood showers sure pass the time (sorta). But if you're looking for depth and/or substance, I recommend The Simpsons or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The story is like a comic book hater's idea of comic booky. (The protagonist knows her former coworkers and nemeses so well she has to note their silly nicknames under their names in her "kill list"?)
A hint: In ten years, when the color schemes and the music and the quirky imagery of this movie don't feel quite so modern anymore, don't rent it. It'll age like a fine bottle of Seven-Up.
