“A manu0026#39;s brother apparently dies in combat in the Middle East. And yet, this same brother is somehow connected to Cain, a vampire clan leader. And there is a legend of a slayer… and some muscle cars…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA film so simple as this should not be so hard to describe, but it is. Someone wanted to write u0026quot;Bladeu0026quot;, but it was already written. They also wanted to write u0026quot;Fast and the Furiousu0026quot;, but that idea was taken. So, what did they do? They meshed them together in one film, threw in some other nonsense, and made a film. It took almost two years to get released, and I am not surprised.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFirst of all, I cannot stress how much the main character (Michael Matthias) wants to be Vin Diesel. He looks like the Wal-Mart brand of Vin Diesel, Wal-Diesel or something. And how DMX is thrown in as a guy who knows way too much about vampires and somehow knows a slayer when he sees one… not sure why.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVinnie Jones plays Cain, and it is nice to see him with (presumably fake) hair. But this is not a great role for him and makes his acting look terrible. Michael Madsen is Father Roy, and while I always enjoy seeing Madsen, he does too many genre films with people who cannot bring out his best. Aside from Tarantinou0026#39;s films, what is the last great thing he did? Katherine von Drachenberg (aka Kat Von D) also appears.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot holes, time line, and more just do not add up on this to a decent movie. The acting is weak, the directing is decent, though it is clear the emphasis was on the action and not the acting. The directoru0026#39;s background is as a stunt man, and I can easily say the stunts here are just fine… the film is, however, a mess… and I do not know who to blame first.”
