It's curious to wonder what Cam Gigandet is doing these days; maybe he found work as a carpenter? He seemed stiff in his role, and he wasn’t the only one feeling awkward within this energetic but familiar fantasy story. The film centers on a skilled and dangerous priest, portrayed by Paul Bettany, who has serious worries about the long-standing peace between humans and vampires, fearing it's about to be broken. He brings these concerns to his superior—the “Monsignor,” played by Christopher Plummer, who leads the influential church safeguarding humanity—but dismisses him, citing his promise of obedience. Of course, if he’d followed that instruction, we wouldn't have a movie; so he sets off into the desert looking for a young girl who has been taken. There, he meets an eager but inexperienced sheriff (Gigandet), who also happens to be her boyfriend, and another priest with impressive physical skills (Maggie Q). They quickly realize they’re pursuing a unique type of being capable of easily eliminating anyone it comes across. What is this villain trying to achieve, and can these three manage to stop him and save the girl before his terrible scheme unfolds? The film certainly delivers plenty of action sequences, and while not overly demanding, Bettany does an acceptable job in the lead, maintaining a decent pace. The rest of the performances and the writing are fairly ordinary, giving us an early glimpse of just how unexceptional Karl Urban is as an actor. It wasn’t unpleasant to watch, but it felt like a routine undertaking that highlights how much I miss Kate Beckinsale.
