The Shooter (Stephen McHattie ) whose name we discover in the last scene, works as an assassin for nightclub owner Hercules (Henry Rollins ) in an unnamed Eastern European country that has a vampire. After he kills a group of German and Egyptian child dealers he discovers his boss has taken over the pedophile business. He has obtained a young bride (Themis Pauwels ) for the said vampire that is the neighbor of our shooter. He re-examines his life and decides to do a one-man rescue operation.

The heroin using trumpet player also played by McHattie for confusion and perhaps for thematic reasons I did not get, added a noir element to the feature. The production was on the artsy side with some conversations and thought processes being thematic fillers that might take a second viewing. Juliette Lewis had a midsized role as the sister of the vampire. When will she be an A-lister?

Guide: F-word. No sex. quick opening scene nudity.

This is an odd movie that doesnt make a lot of sense and is VERY VERY talkie.

You wait for the payoff, but it's so slow coming that it begins to not matter.

It's directed like one o f those handful of artsy porn movies (Nightdreams, et.al.) from the late 70's /early '80s. But without the porn that made them interesting.

You have some really good actors here and a director who really did shine with Pontypool. Now that doesn't mean that the movie is going to be liked by a lot of people ... but it has some quirky moments and weird things going for it, that some will cherish.

That being said there is violence, there are flaws and other things. This is not something that will make people too excited, but it certainly different than any blockbuster you will see. Still cliches and other things get in the way and even with great actors at hand, not everything is gold that shines
