Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

NateWatchesCoolMovies Folks, this is one for the books. Ever wish there was a film made about a badass, gun slinging vampire who is secretly contracted by the President of the United States (Highlander himself, Christopher Lambert) to carry out dangerous missions and thwart evil Islamic terrorists? Well your very specific and demented wish just came true. Imagine for a moment that John Carpenter, Joe Dante and Michael Bay got hammered one night and wrote the most ridiculous script for a horror action comedy this century has seen. The resulting treatise would be Blood Shot, an absolute hoot of a flick that combines elements that wouldn't be caught dead (or undead) together in any other setting but that of the gloriously unrestricted world of the B movie. The President uses a craggy operative named Sam (ever brilliant Lance Henriksen) to brief the Vampire in question (Michael Bailey Smith) on his missions. He is to hunt down violent Islamic rebels, led by a dude called Bob. Bob is Arabic. Bob is played by Brad Dourif, who is white as a sheet, but here shows up caked in brown makeup and hollering away in the most idiotic accent I've ever heard. His casting alone is just hysterical, and should drive the social activists up the wall screaming, while the rest of us howl in with laughter. His character is called Bob because of everyone's inability to pronounce his real arabic name which is a mile long and completely nonsensical. His crew are terrorists straight from a Mel Brooks film, complete with a midget amongst them. There's also a lone hero cop (Brennan Eliott channels the hotshot, reckless law enforcers of 80's movies) hunting both the terrorists and the Vampire, getting in everyone's way and capping anything that moves. The fact that Highlander plays the President in a film about a Vampire who hunts down terrorists named Bob should be more than enough for any self respecting film fan to drop whatever they're doing and go bask in this baby's glow. Despite being a direct to video flick, it contains not a trace of the trademark ineptitude and shoddiness that you're always likely to find when exploring the genre. Campiness and lunacy, oh yes. But never mediocrity or laziness. But that's what your friendly neighborhood Nate is here for, to wade through the unwatchable sludge and mine out the priceless gems for you all to see. This one's funny, imaginative, off the wall and a pint of B positive fun.

daletheminoltaman Hysterical, lots of memorable one liners! This movie is fantastic, I do not get the bad reviews. Well unless it was by people that do not understand clever humor, hysterical one liners and a fantastically silly plot. If you are looking for a uplifting, super fun Sunday afternoon then check this movie out, it is just simply a great time.The one liners really make the movie and Brad Dourif and Christopher Lambert are great as always. I really do not know what else to say, this movie is great, if you like purposely silly, fun movies then you will love this one. Give it a shot, you will have a great time. Wow they like a long review for movies here, most people just want a quick summary of how the movie was without someone giving away the plot too much and ruining the movie. That is why I never listen to movie critic reviews, they not only give a pretentious review but they give away too much in the movie and ruin it.

morrigan1982 The plot is about a Vampire working for the good guys and helping with the countries safety. You have a cop committed to capture and kill this vampire. He judges him by his appearance and for the fact that he acts as a vigilante. He thinks he is a monster and he wants him out of the picture! The vampire wants to help his country in the fight against terrorists. The leader (Brad Dourif) of the terrorist group is a fanatic who wants to blow up the country with a nuke and the vampire teams up with the cop to stop them… So it is not exactly a masterpiece as you can imagine. It is not that good either. It is entertaining though, if you want something to pass the time, if you wanted to see a good horror you wouldn't pick this one. So you know what you are getting yourself into!

jabrbi OK, here's the low down: There's a cop who's personal mission is to kill/capture vampires - cos they kill humans, of course - and there's this vampire hit-man he's desperate to defeat.There's a vampire hit-man, who works for the government as a black ops specialist.And there's an Arabian desperate to blow up an American city with a nuke.Of course the film turns into a buddy film of cop and vampire against the terrorists, but that misses the point of the film.How do you kill a vampire? Bullets turn to dust, garlic just makes his clothes smell, holy water is wet, silver bullets sting - and then he beats the s*** out of you.The humour in this film may be too dark for Americans as the some of the jokes are so dark, but if you can key into the vibe there are so many sly jokes that you'll need to watch this film twice just to catch most of them. My favourite is the running joke that every time the vampire captures a terrorist they turn to the vampire and beg, "Bite Me!" - although the scene with the body bags is a close second.The cop isn't a good enough actor to carry the film, but thankfully the vampire steals every scene he's in. Brad Dourif as Bob the head terrorist stops just short of chewing the scenery, and is borderline racist, but that's probably better than having an Arabian actor caricature himself. (Was Alexander Siddig unavailable?) The plot is simple, linear and predictable, but that leaves you free to relish the sly humour and the great performance of Michael Bailey Smith as the vampire.With a better actor as the cop, this film could have been another Lethal Weapon. Sadly, it never quite takes off into that league, but it's great fun to watch the vampire hold up his end of the conversation.
