the breed start sometime in . the near future . where homicide detective steven grant ( bokeem woodbine ) and his partner phil ( reed diamond ) follow up a lead on a particularly nasty serial killer who run around at the moment . the lead happen to be a steal van which they find and in a nearby building discover yet another dead body . the mysterious killer be also there and he most definitely resist arrest and even though grant repeatedly shoot him he kill phil by bite his neck . grant survive but the killer disappear into the night . the national security agency contact grant about the incident and the agency director say that what he and and phil and be deal with be a renegade vampire . he carry on to inform grant that there be about 4000 vampire worldwide and they reveal themselves to u to try and live in harmony together and he also say that vampire be genetic mutation and feed on a synthetic substitute for blood . grant be assign a new partner and a vampire name aaron gray ( adrian paul ) and they be tell to work together to discover the identity of the serial killing vampire who want to sabotage the peace between the two race . this american hungarian co production be direct by michael oblowitz and be average at best . the script by christos n. gage and ruth fletcher be the real problem here . too many thing just do not work for me and for a start could a high ranking scientist create a virus that have the potential to wipe out the entire human race without a single person question him or find out . i mean the guy be even use the nation security agency laboratory for christ sake . consider the vampire race have be around for 1000 of year it seem strange that there be only 4000 throughout the entire world and that they have never be notice before . the central relationship between grant the human and gray the vampire be clichéd and really cheesy and i mean at first they do not do not get on and seem mismatch but by the end they be best of friend and have save each other life and we have see it all before and do a lot well . the whole story be predictable and i can not believe it take gray over half the film to figure out the painfully obvious . the whole concept just do not work as far a i be concern and the film spend a good 30 minute explain it own set of vampire rule a grant would ask a question like how to kill a vampire and gray would tell him thus make sure we and the viewer that be and know as well . the breed also make a few feeble attempt to say thing about racism and trust and acceptance and you know all the clichéd thing one would expect . director oblowitz think he make a cross between the matrix ( 1999 ) and lethal weapon ( 1987 ) and vampire ( 1998 ) and well no one tell him that you need a budget to pull that off . he film the fight scene with people fly through the air plus shooting and reload their gun in a cool way but they come off a look ridiculous . he film everything with bleach out colour and a greenish tint . a for the film suppose style and you need to do a bit more than tilt the camera and shine a few neon light and have some mist swirl in every shot . the gore be none existent and one neck biting and a couple of slit throat and a few gunshot wound and someone explodes cgi style at the end and it look terrible . with a really low budget of about $ 400 and 000 it show . the breed have reasonable production value but it look cheap throughout and you can tell it be shoot in europe and in this case hungary . even though it be mean to be set in the future the car and clothes and the like suggest otherwise . i find the act awful and whats with the gay moustache paul . woodbine give a terrible performance and just wasn not right for the role at all . ling bai be quite sexy look whenever she appear . i be disappoint by the breed and it one of those film that make a fantastic trailer when they show all the cool bit in the space of two and a half minute set against some techno music . unfortunately there another eighty seven and a half minute to sit through if you decide to watch it . personally i do not think much of it .
