Very great first
venture for freshman director Len Wiseman. Definitely a fan favorite if
you enjoyed any of The Crow films,
Blade, Equilibrium, etc. I was very suprised at Kate Beckinsale's
performance she was much better than I had
anticipated. The only major thing I didn't like was Shane Brolly's
performance in the movie. He made vampires look
like a bunch of scared children. The role should have been cast to a
stronger male actor not one who would
shame the entire vampire nation. Overall definitely one to see and
hopefully we'll get to see a sequel in the near
future.
