A Reason to cheer for the bad guy

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2006)

In most cases, the villains in movies are made to be hated but for Pitch Black it's different. Vin Diesel is perfect as the villain as his voice is cold and his acting is dark. You couldn't help but to cheer for the villain. The story is similar to Alien but expanded to a greater scale. The killer aliens didn't look threatening at first but after a while their deadliness was up there with the alien from Alien. Cole Hauser's performance would make anyone hate his character. The chemistry between Hasuer and Diesel in their fight scene reminded me of the "grudge match films" such as Demolition Man, Face/Off, Broken Arrow, Universal Soldier, and Virtuosity. The film itself had a shock ending, but I'm not gonna tell you, just go watch it. Better yet, just go buy it. It's worth it.
