In a near future, the existence of a city of vampires is disclosed to the human race. However, some killings of humans jeopardize the integration of the races. Detective Steve Grant (Bokeem Wooddbine) and the vampire Detective Aaron Gray (Adrien Paul) join forces investigating the murders. This movie has many essential components to be a great film: a wonderful photography, something between Gothic and noir, recalling 'Dark City' and even 'Matrix'; an intriguing and original plot, discussing the problems of integration of two very different races, which can be extrapolated for the present intolerance in the world; great costumes, good special effects and some good actors and actresses. However, the screenplay is confused, with an unnecessary romance, and the direction is cold, and in the end, we have a movie without emotion or vibration, basic elements for this type of story. Anyway, it is watchable and is a reasonable entertainment. My vote is six.
