jude law give his all in this beautifully film vampire flick which offer little else of value . completely lack in eroticism and excitement and or lead lady with appeal . one decent fight and a few moment of mild suspense . and a one note plot . the movie wax philisophic in a series of conversation between law character and a dogged homicide detective and well play by timothy spall . but despite their best effort and both actor be stake to the cross of the film banality . with a less actor in the lead role and without the benefit of oliver curtis cinematography crocodile would blend into the sea of low budget vampire quicky .
