DAYBREAKERS (Theatrical Release USA 2010)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì

Daybreakers’ interesting concept drives this movie so that it becomes like a great novel—one can’t stop watching/reading due to tremendous desire to see what will happen next. Even though the movie contains some very average acting scenes, these scenes are spiced up with some very good acting performances. Sam Neill seems a little out of character in this movie, but still gives his usual professional performance. Watch for Willem Dafoe.
