Underworld

[robinturner]

I've just watched Underworld - that's the one with vampires and werewolves, in case you were about to confuse it with one of the other half dozen films of that name. I think it's proof that a film can be so derivative as to make you laugh out loud and still be enjoyable. We are talking Whitewolf's RPG Vampire, the Masquerade (specifically the "Under a Blood Red Moon" scenario) meets The Matrix. I mean if you are going have your heroine wear a PVC top and hold an automatic pistol in each hand, at least don't give her a long leather trenchcoat as well. Everything about this film said "I am a cheap imitation" (or rather a very expensive imitation, judging by the SFX) but even so, I loved it.
