Scott Speedman
Reviews Featuring Scott Speedman
A well-acted and at times extremely violent thriller. It'll hold your attention, but offer little that's fresh.
Some people will think that a film about vampires and werewolves is inherently silly, and should be watched only for its visceral thrills (which 'Underworld' certainly has). Yet at a time when mainstream American discourse would have us believe that in war everything is black and white, 'Underworld' represents an important voice of reasoned dissent in its suggestion that war is in fact a morally messy business, with complicated and often misunderstood causes - which makes 'Underworld' not just a kick-ass monster free-for-all, but also a vampire film with unexpectedly political bite.
A film about death and its impact on others that is refreshingly unsentimental, and with an ending that might leave you feeling either exhilarated or depressed (or even both) depending upon how you interpret it.
Finally, a makes you jump horror flick that didnt originate in a much scarier version from Asia, The Stranger throws two likable people into a horrifying situationplus there are masks.
