A formula comic book action flick best seen stoned

Rating: Null/10 (13 September 2004)

If you like Kate Beckinsale, then you will like this. She is hot! But aside from that, this film is best seen stoned. The story started with a new twist on the overdone vampire thing but then failed to deliver anything really original.The action is unoriginal and lifted straight from other movies in this genre. The acting is mediocre, par at best but put some blame for this on the poor script. I also found the soundtrack not to be memorable.
Kudos' for the uber cool work by production designers, lighting and cinematographers. The direction is a competent and it is well cut to maintain a good tempo. Overall a very stylish effort at this genre.
I personally enjoyed the film, but then again that's mostly because I think Kate's hot. I would also recommend Van Helsing to anyone who liked this.
