Fast pacing, terrific effects, good story

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2004)

Some may say that this movie has no depth, a typical popcorn flick. But I don't agree at all; it's not literary depth, but it isn't the typical linear plot either. This movie is 2 and 1/4 hours long, but the pacing stays fast throughout. The visual effects are really great, and they blend in well. And the story ... well, it's not quite linear, but has appealing twists and turns.
In summary, this movie is better than many others. It is a genre movie, so if You do not like fantastic vampire stories and are totally and exclusively into Rosamunde Pilcher or Pedro Almodovar, better do not watch it; for the others - 7/10.
