Search: ‘Blade’

As spectacular as it is slyly sentimental.

A celebration of peaceful resistance and of those who stand behind many of the world's figureheads, helping them to achieve their aims.

Full of visceral action from start to finish, this is a kinetic mix of impressive stunts and inventive shots.

It is Blade Runner.

It is among the most unwavering make-believe worlds I have ever seen in cinema... I can only wish the film's story lingered anywhere near as much as it's artistry.

Beg, borrow or steal a ticket to see it on the biggest screen you can find.

Blade has no sense of humour - you knew that already - but Snipes is made to look iconic, which means he's a dull date.

Although this film has no body count, it carries with it all the danger of an erotic thriller.

The humour remains below the waist, dominated by Ferrell’s overbearing machismo

As so often in giallo, the gore is where the director's style really comes into its own.

Samurai revenge stories are not exactly thin on the ground and it takes something special to get attention today, but Blade Of The Immortal is just that.

It isn’t just Blade killing a different ‘monster of the week’ every episode (cynically, this would have been more popular), it’s a big inter-connected canvas in the style of The Sopranos.

Everything here is just a rehash of other films.

Perez manages the set-piece confrontations with precision and a nail-biting suspense.

It is a shame that this lushly shot martial arts epic suffers from a confusing plot and some awkward dialogue that overwhelms good performances, fine action scenes and a dark take on the often glorified Chinese warlord period.

The seriousness of their approach overcomes the merest suggestion of parody.
