Rise: Blood Hunter: Movie Review, DVD Review (2007)

More vampires, this time shaking down the City of Angels.

Lucy Liu is Sadie Blake, an investigative reporter who, along with Michael Chiklis' detective Clyde Rawlins, is seeking to rid Los Angeles of the bloodsucking beasts.

Since there wouldn't be a movie industry should they do so, nobody should cheer them on to succeed.

But onward they push. Armed with her crossbow, Sadie, a vampire herself, is one hot, angry mess. Given that she's played by Liu, who brims with her typical intensity, the movie benefits from all the formidable energy she can muster.

Rated R. Grade: C+
