It's a vampires world and they get to smoke as much as they want to but still have to catch the train to work the nightly grind.
Humans are farmed and hunted for blood but it's getting scarce and without blood vampires are regressing to batmen forms and attacking their own kind. Ethan is looking for a synthetic blood substitute when he comes across a band of humans on the run.
I was hoping this would be more like Constantine in style and it certainly has a strong visual look but the writing and editing is terrible. I found myself wondering if I'd left my park lights on and left the theatre to check as I wasn't too concerned about missing anything.
Directed by Australian twins Michael and Peter Spierig, this features many Australian/NZ actors all of which are unfortunately terrible but so too is Willem Dafoe who cheeses out on his one liners, strangely enough Ethan Hawke comes out of this the best actor.
The film gets worse and worse as it progresses and ends with an out of no where to shoot the bad guy saving the day scene and a slow motion blood orgy with military dudes which looks extremely silly and a bit gross.
NO - Like Near Dark this also features a convenient cure for vampirism but Near Dark is fuckin awesome and this movie is not.
