Priest: Blu Ray Review
Priest
Rating: M
Released by Sony Home Entertainment
Paul Bettany and our very own Karl Urban star in this latest outing.
For centuries man has been at war with vampires. And with the vamps hunting
them to near extinction, there was only ever one line of defence - the
priests.
But after the vamps' defeat, the priests were abandoned and reintegrated back
into society.
However, when an apparent vamp attack kills the brother of one nameless
priest (Paul Bettany), he has no choice but to hunt down their daughter and
break his vow, risking all out war...
Priest isn't a bad attempt at a western crossed with vampires.
There's plenty of imagery from the wild west (including a final set piece on
a train) and the bleached look of this post apocalyptic world, along with some
quite cool comic style pre titles, give it a bit of different feel. But some
wonky CGI and some frankly laughable dialogue see it unable to rise from the
dead.
Which is a shame as Bettany is good as the monosyllabic priest and Nikita's
Maggie Q and Karl Urban also are solid as supporting cast (even if the latter
chews a bit too much of the scenery).
Rating: 5/10
