See wha† I did †here with the 't' in †he shape of a cross (†)?

Cos i†'s vampires and pries†s and... oh forget i†.

In a post-apocalyptic future, the world is a wasteland.
The war between humans and vampires was tipped with the help of the 'Priests' - who were specially trained by the church to combat the vampire threat.
But after the war was won, there was no longer any use for them.

But suddenly the threat from the vampires has somehow returned.

Priest (Paul Bettany) must now race against time to rescue his niece Lucy (Lily Collins) after his brother is killed by the vamps.
Together with sheriff Hicks (Cam Gigandet), they must race to find Black Hat (Karl Urban) who seems to be behind everything. Or is he?

Meanwhile, Head of the Church Monsignor Orelas (Christopher Plummer) decides that Priest must be punished for going against the church.
For "Going against the Church is going against God" so he sends Priestess (Maggie Q) to capture him and bring him to justice.

Oh please give me a break.
The problem with this movie is that it's trying to combine too many elements from previous concepts that it loses itself.
Mad Max meets Constantine? Seriously?
And I can't tell if this movie never got started or if it started in the middle because it was running at a very weird pace.

Never liked Paul Bettany much. But I am especially disappointed with Cam Gigandet.
After his badass performance in 'Never Back Down' he seems to be taking on more and more rubbish roles.

This is one for the DVD rentals kiddies.

Final Verdict: Worth $2.50 out of a $10 ticket
