This movie has everything going for it.
There's action, tragedy, great cinematography, good directing.
But, there is a great problem with the script, its almost like budget cuts came in half through the movie and its not that they sacrificed quality in the process.
It feels like they were half way through a 3 hour epic and they wrote in a quick step to the final scene, to make it 2 hours.
Sure if you want to play up to the existential art-house of cinema the ending would have played out, but the entire movie before it wasn't going in that direction.
It seems like some parts of the movie were directed by somebody else, especially the flashbacks. The flashbacks alone crap on the rest of the movie.
I guarantee this movie for entertainment. A bit of tragedy and entertainment. But there is definitely a hole in the movie that should make everyone who watches it think 'WTF', how did it even get to this point, where is the rest of the movie.
If it had the rest of the movie, its 9/10.
For what it is, its a quality action/vampire movie.
For what it's not, wait for DVD(as long as its on a big TV and HD) because some of the sword scenes are brutal.
