In the end i would say the movie is hard to like, even if you see it as a total "nanar" as we call them in french, which could be translated to "a silly but fun movie" in English. After that, i would say the way the movie is filmed is pretty decent, camera work is fine, blood is fine, but i am not sure if this is part of the vampire "powers" but when he sponge bullets, they just disappear in a little smoke explosion, not even damaging his suit, which i tough was extremely silly and just poor special effects. But the bad guys are just a total mess, they can't be believe in at all, and the whole concept of the president talking from his limo to a vampire division administrator is so whatever. The cop ain't bad, but his character is so badly introduced you have trouble caring for him. When it comes to other characters, the vampire is OK, he is imposing, look strong, outside the fact that he only use double pistol, you could think he is what you have in mind when you think "vampire". But on top of that the leader is so caricatured you can't take him seriously at all. OK this part is from the start extremely hard to believe, terrorist running freely in the US in full "arabian look" and all. Eventually they will have to team up as the synopsis mention to take down a terrorist who want to blow out a Nuke in L.A. We are supposed to believe the cop only want to bring the vampire to justice because he kill people. The movie start right away and this is my major complain, its never explained why the cop is after the vampire. Oh well i have not rent one of those in ages, and i had a coupon for 2 at the price of 1.
When i first saw the cover, or the french title in the video store(yes some people still rent from video stores) "Vampire Assassin" i knew i was in for something pretty lame and dumb.
