Review: Blade

Flixster - Share Movies

The one that brought a new kind of comic book hero to the screen. Wesley Snipes is awesome as Blade, a vampire hunter who is half vampire himself, wiping out each and every vampire he comes across. His main adversary is Deacon Frost, played by Stephen Dorff, who also happened to be the vampire that killed his mom while she was pregnant with Blade. So it's payback time. Lots of blood and gore and gunfire and hand to hand combat make this an extremely entertaining movie. Co-starring wily Kris Kristofferson, Donal Logue, Traci Lords and N'bushe Wright. Look for the awesome opening scene at a vampire rave club where Blade just goes ballistic. Two more action packed sequels would follow.

B+

Blade: "There are worse things out tonight than vampires".
Karen: "Like what?"
Blade: "Like me."
