Summary: Adrian is an Underrated Actor Who Deserves Recognition
Review: I am not a vampire movie fan; but this movie hook me. Probably because it dealt less with blood-sucking & gave a different view to prejudice. Mr Paul who plays the vampire - is dark, quiet, yet you can feel his strength & anger. I have seen this movie 5 times since I first purchase & each time I see something new & pick up another what if? for conversation with friends & relatives. My family who I have driven crazy regarding Mr Paul & his others movies: Highlander-Endgame (which was killed by the editing dept); Merlin-The Return, Last Rites w/Tom Berenger, Love Potion #9 (etc) have finally agreed to what I have said for many years. Adrian Paul is one of Hollywood most underrated actors. Give him a role - & he gives it life, you forget you are watching a movie, you feel as if you were given a chance to see a moment, a day in someone else life. His talent for accents, bringing humor into whatever role he plays. Take the chance, & you will discover what I have. Thank you

Summary: Too Much Styles and No Substance ... and Where Is Bai Ling?
Review: I don't particularly like vampire flicks, but am very attracted by the name of Bai Ling, so I watched this movie. She was in Jodie Foster's "Anna and the King" (which I hate) and in "Wild Wild West" (no comment). In both films, she was utterly ill-used, because of the misguided directors who don't know what to do. Then this one came.If you seek for blood-sucking vampires, "The Breed" is not the place. The setting is unique, some people might find, but actually is another version of buddy movie, with one vampire (Adrian Paul) and one human (Bokeem Woodbine), both trying to catch a serial killer. The near future society of humans has become totalitarian, like that of "Brazil," and the leader of vampires, not entirely hostile to humans, proposes to stop sucking humans' blood, content with substitute food which taste very bad. But as the investigation proceeds, the unlikely pair is about to find a conspiracy that would change the whole world. Well, that is the sketch of the story, and it is fairly interesting. However, the director Michael Oblowitz, too intent on styles, forgets to entertain us with coherent storytelling. Like his previous "This World Then the Firework," he shows interesting ideas and stylish cameraworks, but soon bogs down among the mire of them. His idea of neglected vampires among cold-hearted humans has considerable brilliance, but after a while we realize the film stops there, just showing the vision which is initially intriguing, but soon losing steam. Virtually a vampire version of James Caan film "Alien Nation," the charm of the film should have come from the cast. Adrain Paul is good as a creepy (but not evil) vampire with a slight tinge of young Christopher Lee, but Woodbine is miscast, utterly discrediting the power of the story. But compared with misguided use of Bai Ling, whose acting is confined within a heavy make-up, it is nothing. It is not until we come to the end of the film that we see bit of her acting skill that made her name in "Red Corner." Perhaps, they wanted to take her as an exotic beauty whose only function is to decorate the screen. Mistake.

Summary: An interesting take on the vampire legend.
Review: I like Adrian Paul and Bookeem Woodbine did an good job as well. The film suffers somewhat by its obviously small budget but it is still very entertaining and I liked the dark brooding atmosphere of the film. If you like films like "Blade" and "John Carpenter's Vampires" then you'll probably like this film.

Summary: Rich in atmsophere, Lacking in development
Review: I, like so many others, was loathe to see another Anne Rice-esque vampire movie. And add to that the teen vampire flick. I wanted to see something sophisticated--a movie that dealt with vampires in a compelling manner as befitting the wealth of paradoxes these characters can provide. The Breed looked like it might fit the bill. It fell just a little short. The atmosphere is wonderful; it was rich and lush in a very dark and sensual way. And the story has possibilities. But something about the whole thing is unconvincing. It moves too quickly, giving the viewer little time to care, and the action doesn't justify the pace. The one touch of emotion, the one character that brings out feeling, is the vampire detective as played by Adrian Paul. He brings out the paradoxes I mentioned earlier more completely then any other character in the film. (And it also helps that he has the dark, charismatic sensuality that brings vampires to mind.) His performance in a particular scene towards the end redeemed, to an extent, the rest of the film and alleviated some of the disappointment I felt towards it. If they had slowed the movie down, developed some of the ideas more grandly, and gave Paul more screen time this would have been a very solid vampire/noir film.

Summary: It had so much promise...
Review: It's really not a bad movie. The best part of the movie was the atmosphere. The acting leaves something to be desired, although there are some good moments from the entire cast (except for Bokeem Woodbine, which I'm not entirely sure why he was cast because he doesn't quite fit the role - it's as if he doesn't want to be in the movie). If you are a fan of this genre, I would recommend it. It's kind of cheesy, but entertaining. I think people that gave this a low rating are really just taking it too seriously.

Summary: Well, it was certainly different....
Review: Not bad. It wasn't a great movie, but it wasn't bad. It will certainly be one that I remember. The whole movie almost surreal and eery with a whole cheesy 50's sci-fi meets Richard O'Brien feel to the scenes in secret service headquarters, and a Highlander feel to the flashbacks. I thought the plot was a little thin and inconsistant and the performances from the three stars were nothing out of the ordinary, but I think this had more to do with the writing than anything. I'd recommend if you're the type of fan who watches everything from your fave actor no matter the quality or if you're looking for a memorable, slightly odd B-movie.

Summary: Odd but entertaining
Review: Set in a bleak, communistic, not-so-distant future a conflicted young NSA officer whose partner is murdered by your not-so-run-of-the-mill villian. Fangs? But the report on the murder gets a surprising reaction. Apparently he is not crazy, a new Breed of humans have just revealed themselves after centuries of secrecy. But not everyone wants an alliance with humanity to succeed. And it is up to the young cop and his new partner, a vampire, to save both the breeds.
I definitely think this is a great movie for the horror lover as well as fans of Adrian Paul. My favorite leading man does have some very exciting scenes in this movie. Some of the dialogue is a little too forced and cryptic and the choriography definitely leaves something to be desired, and you wish it would just slow down and develope the characters a bit more but overall I think this is a must-see movie. With the Forever Knight esc plot and realistic makeup it usually makes up for its dificiencys and manages to hold together as a fairly good film.
