I didn't have trouble with the pacing or story confusion as other reviewers did. I saw this at a preview screening and there wasn't much crowd reaction, however it should be noted that the film kept my (very) jaded interest throughout. The "dream" visions were nice, but then they usually are. As for the directing, besides the poor action and annoying flares, it was competent but not particularly memorable. For me, she was the highlight acting-wise and elevated everything up a dramatic notch. Surrounding the more-emotional-than-usual Diesel, there's actually a pretty decent cast including Michael Caine (always classy), Elijah Wood (amusing and solid) and Rose Leslie, that redhead wild woman from Game of Thrones. So don't go in expecting to be thrilled too much by the quality of the action. Thankfully, it's never as bad as in that first fight in the past, and it does get better as the film goes on. I know that close-in fighting is supposed to be messy and chaotic but the cuts here were sometimes so poorly done I had trouble knowing what was happening. Unfortunately, I found the action scenes somewhat weak in general. There was visual stuff there I hadn't actually seen before or at least a dozen times over. I also liked the design of the old witches and that bone sentinel. One of the neatest places was that bar with the subtle light magic. The special effects were rather good and I especially liked how the magic was so nature-oriented (as it should be for witches). As far as story goes, despite the seemingly cliché setup, I'd say it was stronger than usual for that kind of supernatural-action film with a few good twists I didn't see coming. After that Middle-Ages intro, I thought all the witches would be evil, despicable, one-dimensional creatures (which would have been boring) but then again, I was fooled as we actually delved more into the modern witch community. In fact, on more than one occasion, his hero actually showed restraint and compassion, which was quite refreshing.
I was pleasantly surprised to find Vin Diesel more smiling and "human" than usual. Verse 3 I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door, I must have it painted black Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts Its not easy facing up when your. One would think that Kaulder would be a stereotypical stoic, somber, asocial killing machine, but such is not quite the case. We have Vin Diesel's character, Kaulder, a man who lost his family due to witches, still alive after 800 years and still hunting them.
