No bullet time!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2003)

My god, an action film without bullet time?!?! Could this be? Filmakers not copying the matrix fight scenes? WOW. When I saw the trailer I was expecting another run of the mill matrix copy, but imagine my surprise when there was not a bullet trail in sight! Although they do wear leather trenchcoats and catsuits etc, which is a bit matrixy, the film itself is in fact quite original. They try to stick to a storyline but they also weave the action into it very well, creating a nice cinematic experience. The idea of modern day vampires, which although is not new, is very cool and it is in my opinion much better than the age old rubbish vampires that were killed by wooden sticks, and were scared of two pieces of wood stuck together in a cross shape.
A very nice part of the film is the fact that kate beckinsale is in it, therefore making the film much better :D heehee...
But seriously, I think this film is very good, bu for those of you expecting a bloodbath, you're going to be disappointed.
