Plot

There is a war raging between two races, the Vampires and the Lycans (werewolves). The movie opens up with an explosive gunfight between a couple of Lycans and the lovely Vampire Warrior Selene (Beckingsale). Apparently the Lycans are tracking a human (Speedman) and Selene wants to know why.

Pros

This is a great script with tons of action. These two races are better armed than many small countries. Even though the special effects are superb, the best part of this movie is the unfolding storyline and the actors that were cast.

Cons

A little too much gunplay; some of these scenes could have been shortened. And why is it that two of the more legendary and strong creatures have to be so dependent on modern firearms?
