Summary
RATING: R for strong bloody stylized violence
Starring Gianna Jun, Allison Miller, Masiela Lusha, JJ Feild, and Koyuki
Blood: The Last Vampire is based on the cult hit anime series. Demons have infested the Earth. And only one warrior stands between the dark and the light: Saya, a half-human, half-vampire samurai who preys on those who feast on human blood. Joining forces with the shadowy society known as the Council, Saya is dispatched to an American military base, where an intense series of swordfights leads her to the deadliest vampire of all. And now after 400 years, Saya's greatest hunt is about to begin. (Samuel Goldwyn Films)

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
This isn't a great movie. But it's sincere as an entertainment, it looks good, it's atmospheric, and I will perk up the next time I hear Gianna is in a picture.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Maggie Lee
The mixed-gene pool of talent doesn't quite jell, but a saving grace is Korean sweetheart Jeon Ji-hyun.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Scott Tobias
Every scrap of footage here has been done better somewhere else.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
Gory but dramatically inert vampire schlocker.
Read Full Review >Variety Peter Debruge
While foreign viewers are apt to focus on the action, native English speakers can't help but notice the sheer awkwardness of the performances.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Michael Ordona
Blood's only surprise is that the filmmakers landed Gianna (also known as Gianna Jun, or Jeon Ji-hyun) for the lead. The South Korean megastar proves a more-than-capable action heroine, despite the creative detritus around which she has to navigate.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
The finale of this tedious piece of Asian-ish action-schlock based on a popular anime series implies an intention to make more. One was plenty for me.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis
Suffers from abusive close-ups, repetitive fight sequences and uninspired demon design.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub
If only the projectionist could be persuaded to play the first 10 minutes over and over for two hours, this might be a satisfying movie. Unfortunately, the middle and the end feature a weak lead character, choppy fight choreography, humorless dialogue and computer-generated effects that look as if they came from the "Ghostbusters II" era.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Joe Neumaier
Flashbacks show samurai shenanigans, but it's all cluttered and rambling. Watch "True Blood," "Let the Right One In" or "Twilight" instead. Or wait for "Thirst" or "New Moon" or "Daybreakers" or ...
Read Full Review >Village Voice Aaron Hillis
Unexciting, incoherent, lamely acted, and carelessly written.
Read Full Review >New York Post V.A. Musetto
Not only isn't the new effort up to the standards of the anime, it's bloody awful by any standard.

Absolutely dreadful film.Avoid at all costs.I gave it a 2 rating because some of the action scenes were ok. My friend liked it more than me but he is only 21.
