Blood: The Last Vampire isn't a great movie but it's entertaining at some point. It really stayed true to its anime roots. The movie had a true anime feel. The plot is intact and it makes sense though it is sometimes lost in the action sequences. Either way, the film showcases a unique blend. A Korean lead, a Japanese villain, a French director, a couple of American cast, shot in Hong Kong but is set in Japan. Quite a mix. The movie is held together nicely. Gianna (My Sassy Girl) does a great performance showing sympathy and strength as being the only Japanese girl in an American base. The effects may not be that great but it delivers. Blood showcases what we've come to expect in anime/Japanese movies...over the top action sequences, fight choreography, and a very nice background and cinematography. I give it 5 out of 10.
