Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2003)

This movie is a good take on the old original story of werewolves & vampires. Werewolves were the daytime protectors of the vampires. But something happened that caused them to become mortal enemies & started a 1000-year war. There isn't a lot of direct character development, but that would have slowed the movie down. It's much like the 1st Matrix, enough action at the beginning to get you interested, then they tell the story so you have an understanding of what's going on, then they get back to the action. The character development is subtler, in that you discover the inner workings of Selena as she does. In this type of story it works. You can't go into this movie expecting Terms of Endearment or Casablanca. It is what it is, an action/horror flick. It does the action very well; the horror part is more shock value then actual horror, like most so-called horror movies these days. The acting is decent. Nobody really stands out as far as the acting, good or bad, which I like, because it keeps 1 character from dominating the film. All the characters I thought blended well into the story. So you care more about what's going on, then who is doing what. I give it a 10 out of 10. Because it is very good in its genre, it's the best sci-fi/action movie since Matrix. I recommend it to any action movie buff. I if you liked Blade, you'll love this!
