Kate Beckinsale in a skin-tight vinyl suit ...

Rating: 5/10 (27 January 2004)

... seems to be this film's main selling point (which really didn't do it for me). The general premise is interesting: vampires and werewolves have been engaged in war with one another for centuries, but things are just starting to turn around. I felt however that the whole thing was aiming to be The Matrix stylistically, but really fell far short. The forbidden-love subplot also seemed very underdeveloped, as did much of the storyline - where did the 121 minutes go?
And I really can't let it go unsaid - silver nitrate in aqueous solution is colourless, it does not resemble mercury! And a bullet made even partially from glass really wouldn't work!
