Year:1998
Country of origin:USA
Director:Stephen Norrington
Genre: Vampires, kicking ass
Starring:Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff
Rating:4/5
IMDB link:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120611/
Tagline:The power of an immortal. The soul of a human. The heart of a hero.
Favourite line:"Safety's off, round's already chambered. Silver hollowpoint filled with garlic. You aim for the head or the heart. Anything else, is your ass..."

Not bad for a dumb actioner.
Essentially The Matrix with fangs, liberally borrowing from various sources (Matrix, Buffy, Raiders of the Lost Ark) with some success.
The opening sequence is superb, with the blood shower in the nightclub.
The only downer I can really think of is that the use of 90's techno already makes it seem a little dated.
Fun but dumn.
