Drake (Dominic Purcell), a resurrected modern day Dracula, manipulates vampire hunter Blade (Wesley Snipes) into a compromising position, which moves Blade to the top of the FBI’s most wanted list. Abraham Whistler (Kris Kristofferson), his protector, almost saves the day, yet they both end up as losers, at least temporarily. Like Spider Man, Blade is a savior to humans but various police agencies believe him to be a criminal psychopath. Six months prior Dracula, now the urban gear Drake, is unearthed in Iraq because he’s either the axis of evil, or it’s the devil’s birthplace. Whichever, it makes a political statement. Danica Talos (Parker Posey), who digs him up, is a vampire that is scarier than Dracula. Whistler’s daughter Abigail (Jessical Biel) and her sidekick Hannibal (Ryan Reynolds) double team with Blade to make his escape and save the world. Blade shares the action with Abigail and Hannibal in dueling it out with Drake and Danica. Posey is well known for her independent art house films and to see her in such a funky role is enjoyably unbelievable. Lovers of the vampire film genre will probably like "Blade: Trinity" better than we did. But the dynamics of the characters make the off beat plot and action fit like a mummy in a crypt. George’s Take: Trying to explain the plot in anymore detail would be pointless. If you liked the prior Blade movies, chances are you’ll enjoy this as well. Though I fully expected it to be an action packed wasteland, balance was what made the film work for me. Pam’s Take: We saw three films on the day we screened this one. It’s showing fell between the other two and my first reaction was to groan. Fortunately, it worked as a diversion and I was able to keep an open mind and am able to say I enjoyed the film…for what it is. The pervasive violence did not bother me (because you know going into it that a vampire movie is about violence), but after a bit I did tire of hearing the "f" word. It was more of a broken record than a legitimate part of the dialogue. The dialogue was often humorous and the fun in vampire movies is often that the logic is so convoluted that you can’t help but get lost in the magic of the Hollywood twists. Remember "Van Helsing?" Vampire lovers enjoy!
