I liked that it at least had an interesting premise.

I give it a four. I love Ethan Hawke. I can't wait to see his new movie Sinister later this year.

Finally caught up with this one, and while it certainly didn't have any of the three criteria I use for the best vampire films I mentioned earlier, it's not that bad altogether. The film does score some nice points for it's pretty original premise that actually is far more layered than expected, which makes this a certainly worthwhile effort alone before any of the high-intensity action scenes are brought in. From the car chase in the desert to the ambush on the caravan and the final confrontation in the headquarters which is just an absolute bloodbath of grand spectacle and rather innovative action, this here is pretty fun and generally gets a lot right. The method of generating a cure is pretty new and original, but also quite innovative in execution and concept, which makes this all enjoyable enough if only it wasn't so backloaded on action that the middle segment is so devoid of action it's impossible to really get excited over anything. The fact that so little is made about them being vampires is a part of the problem, but really the slow middle-section is what hurts this one. Still worthwhile and enjoyable, but slightly problematic. Overall, I'd go a strong 4 in the voting.
