An interesting concept of a movie – the world is run by vampires who live as we live but just at night and with blood instead of a coffee on the way to work. Humans are in the minority hiding from the government as they are being kept and farmed for blood. The plot revolves around a vampire trying to find a blood substitute before all the blood runs out and the humans trying to find one also, although their method seems to involve turning vampires back to humans.
There are some interesting ideas and themes within this movie, though it does seem to deal with them all lightly. I am a big fan of Ethan Hawke, so this might be slightly bias, but he is very good as the central vampire unhappy with who he is and longing to be human again.
So a great idea for a film, executed modestly. Enjoyable watching but definitely not essential.
2.5 stars
