| Elevator Pitch | Blade is a unique being, a vampire/human hybrid who can walk in the sunlight and whose vampitic attributes make him the untimate vampire killer, in a world were the undead are attempting to take over, led by a young upstart with ambition. | ||
| Content | Many confrontations between Blade and the vampires, with machine guns, pistols a sort of shot gun and edged weapons. Much blood and gore. Since the vampires main defence is biting people it seems like a bit of an uneven contest, but even so there is a lot of excitement. No nudity or sex, but a bit of clubbing. | ||
| A View | This was almost liked by Rotten Tomatoes and generally well thought of by the public, and I’m going to say it – I liked it as well. The violence was well presented, and not too lengthy (well done the director) and the plot was pretty straightforward. A worthwhile couple of hours if you like vampire action movies. | ||
