pretty decent flick

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2004)

Considering the onslaught on vampire films we have had in the last couple of years, this one actually came out pretty good.
Kate Beckinsale delivers two punches in this one. She looks great in her slinky black leather get-up, and actually does a fairly convincing acting job. Scott Speedman is as hunky as he can be, and even looked good after he turned greyish-blue. The plot ran along as it should, with well timed twists and turns, and the story itself was fresh and interesting. Different from your typical vampire fare, especially since more vampires got their throats bitten then anyone else. It did get pretty violent in some spots, but it wasn't so gory that I felt like I was going to loose the popcorn I consumed while I was watching it.
Overall, I liked it.
