short review:
This seemed to be a new and intriguing idea: vampire mercenaries on a killing spree through the worldwide battlefields. But alas, the realization has been pretty poor. It's more some kind of jungle-war-mystery with too less vampire related scenes. The actors are terrible and the whole movie is far to often illogical. Aaand: the vampires walk the earth during full daylight - I did not know they could do so (except you are a level 30 "Vampire -The Masquerade" character with day walking ability)!!! My advise: don't waste your dark hours on this one; there's enough, much better done stuff around.
