The casting is equally defective, with Kate Beckinsale unconvincing as sullen bloodsucker Selene, a sort of waif-like female version of Blade, and Michael Sheen lacking stature as her “Lycan” enemy. Set against a hackneyed melancholy gothic backdrop, the story piles on scene after scene of portentous, humourless exposition, only stopping occasionally for these centuries-old rival gangs to fire off rounds of ammo. Why such rich potential for teeth-baring conflict is abandoned in favour of sub-Matrix gunplay is one of many questions posed before the film's faintly enjoyable final battle. Only Bill Nighy, as a fearsome ancient vampire, really makes any sort of fanged impression on this dreary disappointment. - Source: Radio Times Price: £19.99 (UK Sterling) / $40.99 (US Dollars) (Shipped from UK) (Price includes worldwide postage & packaging) Payment can also be made to Lenin Imports in UK sterling/US dollars by cheque/check, po, money order, international money order, cash by registered mail.
