Michael Sheen's Lucian steals this show

Rating: 7/10 (22 August 2009)

The most fascinating aspect of 2003's Underworld is how thoroughly the main plot gets overshadowed by one stunning supporting performance and a back story we see only in flashbacks. It's a movie not without its flaws but one that should be commended for spending equal time on character development and back story as it does in crafting its strangely gun fire heavy action sequences....
Len Wiseman (director) and Danny McBride's (writer) film is seen through the eyes of Selene (Kate Beckinsale) a vampire who rejects the persistent attentions of the head of her vampire coven Kraven and the Anne Rice-esquire decadence that surrounds her. A single minded warrior, she'd rather focus on the ongoing war between vampires and Lycans....
