I'm gonna address the elephant in the room right away. Why is "Awkwafina" in any movie? She must be one of the worst actresses out there. Terrible delivery, poor screen presence, bad timing... what is going on with that?
And what a shame, since Nicholas Hoult and Nic Cage are actually very decent here, especially Nic Cage with a mesmerizing performance as Dracula. Unfortunately, the film itself, while having an interesting enough premise, fails to deliver on a writing and directing level, and with an ever-shifting tonality, it doesn't seem to know what it wants to be.
Add in some not-so-good action with terrible CGI blood, and you get a strange mixture indeed. And if it wasn't for Nicholas and Nicolas, this would have been a chore to watch.
