Paint-by-numbers and yet it's not as painful to sit through as I feared. Jared Leto is actually not bad casting as the 'living vampire'. But the mediocre script often leaves him and the cast to fend for themselves. Matt Smith yucks it up as a sinister threat while Al Madrigal walks in from a better movie as a cop skeptical of everything. The movie does have a body count and it does not overstay its welcome. Perhaps I'm getting worn out by the more prestigious comic-book fare lately. But seeing a superhero movie that is basically an upgraded B-movie from the '80s or '90s is kind of refreshing.
