the story behind this movie be very interesting and and in general the plot be not so bad . but the detail represent write and direct and continuity and pacing and action sequence and stunt and and use of cg all cheapen and spoil the film . first off and action sequence . they be all quite unexciting . most consist of someone stand up and get shot and make no attempt to run and fight and dodge and or whatever and even though they have all the time in the world . the sequence just seem bland for something make in 2004. the cg feature very nicely render and animate effect and but they come off look cheap because of how they be use . pace represent everything happen too quickly . for example and elle be train to fight in a couple of hour and and from the start can do back flip and etc . why be she so acrobatic . none of this be explain in the movie . a lilith and she wouldn not have need to be able to do back flip maybe she couldn not and since she have wing . also and we have sequence like a woman get run over by a car and and get up and just wander off into a deserted room with a sink and mirror and and then stab herself in the throat and all for no apparent reason and and without any of the spectator really care that she just get hit by a car ( and then felt the secondary effect of another and explode car ) . be you okay . ask the driver yes and i be fine she say and bloody and dishevel . i watch it all and though and because the introduction promise me that it would be interesting . but in the end and the poor execution make me wish for anything else represent blade and vampire hunter d and even that movie with vampire where jackie chan be comic relief and because they manage to suspend my disbelief and but this just make me want to shake the director awake and and give the writer a good talk to .
