Review
The ideas in this film are plentiful and it's cast of actors do there best with a script that rushes through a multiple of plot points in order to race to a finish that your not ready for , not that it's shocking or anything it just comes too soon. That being said it's vampire's and it's general look are a beautiful sight.
Maybe in years to come another attempt can be made at telling this story and maybe that time they will flesh out the bits that felt thin.
Paul Bettany as the title character is brilliant and i still believe that he will win an Oscar/Bafta at some point. Karl urban further spreads his sci fi action wings as the big bad of the piece but doesn't really get the screen time that he deserves and the same goes for a criminally under used Brad Douriff who until the last five years or so would have been the most famous actor in the film.
Whereas Cam Gigandet's Hicks is a dull and uninspired character who spends most of the film more like a obnoxious teenager that's just been slapped than a tough young sheriff.
Rating 4/10
