Nicely Done Gothic Action

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2009)

I am a die hard horror fan so when I first saw the trailer for this I was ecstatic. Even though I love the finished product I am a little disappointed by the lack of horror in the film. The main character is a vampire and for most of the film I forgot that. Anyway other than that the film was excellent. Kate Bekinsale is solid as the beautiful yet deadly Selene and Scott Speedman is believable as Michael, there is a great supporting cast as well with the likes of Bill Nighy, Michael Sheen, and Sophia Myles. The action is very stylized, there are gunfights galore, and for those that like atmosphere this film screams Goth. Overall I say that it is definitely worth watching also check out the sequel Evolutions.
