Some skin is very deep

Rating: 7/10 (28 September 2003)

The knock on this movie is that it is all surface; that the plot is confused; that the acting stinks. To that I say: picky, picky, picky. Yes it is all surface, all visual. but to complain about that would be like complaining about a painting being all visual. That is the nature of the work. There are some great visulal moments like early on with a view of rain dripping off of Kate Beckinsale's supernaturally long fingers. The problem is that it is not as visually powerful as BLADE or THE CROW although it is in the same genre. If that is your cup of tea (or blood) see it. Don't worry about someone spoiling it for you by telling you about it. Since it is entirely visual, there can't be a spoiler.
