despite the fact that Comcast only gave it 1 star, I decided to watch this movie one recent rainy Saturday afternoon, and I was pleasantly surprised.
first, a disclaimer: even though I'm a 50-something female, I apparently have the movie tastes of a 12-year-old boy. I loved "Route 666" with Lou Diamond Phillips, and and I never miss "Wishmaster 2" when it's on cable.
but if you, like me, like guilty pleasures, you will like this movie. it's a buddy pic with a desert vibe and rather a lot of bloody vampiric action, so--something for everyone! the acting is--competent, let's say. Brendan Fehr, who plays Nick, is actually pretty good. (I see he also starred in another favorite guilty pleasure, Final Destination.) and the two main characters are pretty appealing: you like them and root for them.
when talking about a good-bad movie I always say "Well, it's not Citizen Kane or anything" but in fact this movie was far more entertaining than Citizen Kane. if you find yourself at loose ends on a rainy Saturday, check it out.
