BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

BA_Harrison In his jet black Shelby Super Snake, vampire slayer Shawn Black (Michael Matthias) takes to the road in search of a group of bloodsuckers led by his brother Cain (Vinnie Jones). On the way, he meets a couple of shallow clubber babes (who we are presumably supposed to care about because they have great tits), before teaming up with unlikely preacher Father Roy (Michael Madsen) to storm the vampires' headquarters—the very same nightclub at which the aforementioned big breasted hotties are now partying.Just because someone has spent decades behind the scenes blowing stuff up, crashing cars, and staging fights, it does not automatically mean that they have what it takes to direct a whole film (even if that film is to be filled with action). Case in point: Charlie Picerni, whose vampiric romp The Bleeding is suitably explosive at times (the Road Warrior-inspired chase scene at the finalé is reasonably impressive), but lacking in virtually every other department.Picerni's ham fisted direction results in a chaotic, plot less, and joyless mish-mash of half-baked ideas and hackneyed action movie clichés that irritate far more than they entertain—but Picerni shouldn't take all the blame: Lance Lane's awful 'script' must have taken all of a lazy Sunday afternoon down the pub to throw together; Vin Diesel wannabe Matthias displays all the charisma of a sponge; Michael Madsen simply goes through the motions; DMX is DMX ('nuff said); Vinnie Jones delivers his cornball dialogue in a manner that, if there was any justice, would kill his acting career dead on the spot; and whoever did the editing clearly hadn't been taking their Ritalin.

ForVirg Don't ask me to explain why I actually sat through this whole thing. Maybe it was curiosity after reading the other reviews. Could one film be THAT bad?? Unfortunately, the answer is a resounding yes. Sitting in a corner pondering your navel is time better spent.Seriously, the other reviewers are not underestimating this movie. There is not one single teeny tiny thing that redeems this movie in any way whatsoever.The acting and casting are just as bad as mentioned by other reviewers. But worst of all to me was the writing.I can say without a doubt that my miniature donkey could've written a better script. A MUCH better script. By hand! It would be laughable if it weren't so pathetically sad that there are good scripts that can't get made, and yet this script, that isn't worth using as toilet paper, actually made it to film.Nope. Not a single redeeming quality in this film. There's not even any mildly entertaining nudity or killings.Never, ever, ever, in my 40 plus years of watching movies as an avid fan, have I ever seen such worthless tripe.Please do the world a favor and burn every single master copy.

luvmycat I was in a mild mood for this type of movie, I'm watching lots of B- Horror lately and I like M. Madsen so I gave it a go.What a mistake.Maybe you have to see a film in complete to justify a review. Then again, that half an hour was more than enough for me. I was bored out of my mind and didn't bother anymore if something would ever happen.I liked the cars (that's why I gave the extra star), especially the Shelby. But if that's the only highlight you wait for in the next scene you better not waste more life time.I waited till Michael Madsen showed up but it didn't help. Then I hate it when the cover shows you characters (e.g. DMX, as if he's a main character or side-kick) which only show up for a few minutes when we might have just done without them. Good idea to rip off fans with a sham cover.Go and watch Drive Angry, which has its flaws but is a quantum leap more ENTERTAINING.

peter-2395 Now, I never write reviews or complaint letters to anyone. I'm an observer. However, I can't possibly let this one go without comment.The short synopsis and cast list I read before watching ticked all the boxes for an enjoyable movie for me, so I sat down eagerly to watch it. How wrong could I have been? It is by far the very worst thing I have ever witnessed on screen as far as I can recall. It has not one single redeeming feature. Not even Vinnie Jones, or Michael Madson. They are hardly Hollywood's greatest actors, I know, but they do have some credibility and have been in some great movies - Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, Snatch, Lock Stock..The concept is fairly sound, if not a little cheesy. The execution, however, is profoundly dismal. The 'story', as it is, is so badly written and portrayed that I actually laughed out loud at the inept stumbling from one scene to another. The acting is some of the very worst to reach the screen and would shame even my five year old god-daughter at her nativity, especially the Vin Diesel wannabe lead character. The direction seems almost absent, as though the film makers just left the actors to it! The script, if there actually was one, is so very, very poorly written and delivered that it may actually make more sense to watch with the sound on mute.I could go on, and feel the urge to do so. but I'll wrap it up. I spent good, hard-earned money on this movie and feel so very let down. I doubt most film makers could come up with anything as bad as this if they actually tried to make the worst movie ever. There must be some very embarrassed people who agreed to work on this film without knowing how it would finally turn out. Seriously, don't waste your time or money.
