Underworld

USA 2003, 116 minutes
Dir. Len Wiseman
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Horror, Action/Adventure, Suspense/Crime / Vampires

Topics: Gothic.

Feat. Kate Beckinsale, Bill Nighy, Michael Sheen, Scott Speedman

Aroview: A sleek action workout in which cat-suited vampire Beckinsale fights an ongoing war with the other creatures of night, werewolves, but also manages to fall in love with one.

Set in a cityscape dripping with Gothic overstyling, this is long in the tooth on CGI-ed, MATRIX-style fight scenes and the intrigues of an aristocratic vampire society. Largely missing however is any real twist on the well-established themes of this much-filmed genre.

4 stars (Very Good) Sleek and stylish, this post-matrix era vampire flick brings sexy back with the stunning Kate Beckinsale as death dealer and werewolf hunter in an alternate world populated by humans, vampires, and werewolves. ~Tom H

2 stars (Good Try) The noisy special effects and the slick editing didn't give the story much of a chance of being appreciated. ~Tubbs
