Wesley Snipes plays the half-mortal, half-vampire who hunts down creatures of the night in this flashy and very violent action adventure based on the popular Marvel Comics character. Aided by gruff-and-tough Kris Kristofferson, he sets out to thwart the evil schemes of fellow vampire Stephen Dorff, whose plans include running a nightclub that will supply humans for his fiendish pals to feed on. This is daft stuff indeed, but Snipes looks great in leather, it's snappily paced and the performances are perfectly tongue in cheek.

Comic-book hokum done with some style and a great deal of noisy action; its nonsense is taken more seriously than it deserves.

Not for me!

Just a politically correct vehicle for Wesley Snipes, a silly update to the vampire story (if that?s possible).

Fight scenes are moody atmospheric ... more

If you like special effects and unreal films, this film covers that sort of criteria. Brill vampire movie

fantastic stuff

This is perhaps one of the most atmospheric movies ever. I'm not a Snipes fan but I dont think anyone else could have pulled it off.
