A mysterious man embarks on a real crusade hunting the vampires that are tormenting his city. In the course of his journey, the man – who is also half vampire – will get a sketch of the worst in the world. ‘Blade’ has a positive start, with an action scene inside a ballad that impresses and amuses. However, this is the only event that pleases those who watch it. Its ridiculous and flawless plot makes it impossible for the spectator to take the slightest amount of seriousness. As if it wasn’t enough, the direction of the film (with the exception of the first scene mentioned above) borders on the unacceptable.
