Unwatchable and Predictable

Rating: 3/10 (15 December 2004)

This film feels more like a fashion student's final year video rather than an action film. The dialogue is predictable and trite and the action sequences are boring.
The film should be enjoyable as a no-brainer action flick but it fails miserably. The costumes and setting are atmospheric, but again and again the action sequences let it down. I don't know why, but the action all feels flat and uninspired. It doesn't bring anything new to the table, and it doesn't live up to its own slick and modern appearance. It's not only vaguely unsatisfying but also boring, which is a terrible crime for an action movie, they're supposed to be all-excitement adrenaline fests.
As a film, Underworld is a corpse wrapped in a shiny leather suit.
