Well made, shame it's about 90 minutes too long...

Rating: 6/10 (14 November 2003)

I saw this film without reading anything about it. I enjoyed Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and From Dusk till Dawn, and was hoping for something similar.
The special effects were good (good job the gore was overplayed in a comical fashion otherwise this could have been a very depressing film); the acting was good; it is well put together; in summary a well polished movie - with one enourmous flaw.
Where was the plot, did I blink at an inopportune moment? I am amazed that this film was split into two parts, the storyline so far leaves a lot to be desired and could have been told in a few minutes.
If you are looking for a popcorn movie for wasting a couple of hours sitting in a cinema this is the one for you, if you are looking for something to push the boundaries and give you something to think about - you had better look elsewhere.
