Good movie: No VAMPIRES
I really didnt want to comment on this film, especially since my kind have been called out earlier in these other reviews. Lambert fan. Check. B-Movie fan. Check. Mambo fan. Check.So let me address some of the important issues first. I am so sorry its a violent film with no deep human meaning or understanding. And if that was your complaint then you better not own a copy of Hostel or any other Torture film.Second, there isnt suppose to be an action hero in the film. If you want a meaning to the movie it is simple. Crime does not pay. In a world of crime and lawlessness eventually even your fellow criminals turn on you.Why does Lou have his daughter at the prison? Did you watch the film. Lou is either a complete Nut Job or vengeance seeker. From the red flashbacks he either killed a child, kidnapped his own daughter and murdered her mother/father. Or he his doing what he says he is doing, trying to make good for him and his daughter.Vampires? Vampires? you mean the guy with the fangs at the gate? Or the demon winged guy Lou sees on the building? The first guy is a bodyguard of Moon's who for some reason has custom made teeth in the shape of fangs. So what. He isnt a vampire, never even crossed my mind that way. He just fits in as a poser gang style thug. Very cyberpunkish. The "demonic image" on the roof is a hallauciantion of Lou's, similar to the boy in the hallway.The movis is simply 90 minutes of action, set with decent music and fun editing. The characters are largely stereotypes, but no more then Spider-Man, Captain Jack Sparrow or Shreck. So relax, pop some pop corn, turn off your brain and enjoy it for what it is.Or you can go rent Matilda.
