a very good stylish vampire flick

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2009)

Len Wisemen seems like a big up and coming director. he has also directed the sequel to this plus Die Hard 4 which is a brilliant film. i'm hoping to hear more from this upcoming director. i think Kate Beckinsale is good in this as a vampire. plus Bill Nighy makes a brief but good performance as the vampire king. Michael Sheen who is also in Frost/Nixon and the sequel and prequel to this is very good as a werewolf.
the story basically is about a rivalry between vampires and werewolves. then one day Selene (Kate Beckinsale) finds out a plot the werewolves are planning and it starts a war that ends in carnage.
obviously this isn't no classic memorable film but at the end of the day not many vampire films are. if you want a slick action film with good action scenes and good story then check this one out............ 8/10..........j.d Seaton
