This history mashup follows the 16th president as he battles bloodsuckers and copes with Civil War (started by the Confederacy to keep slaves alive as food for Southern vampires). The illustrative period style is visually appealing, but the pacing is uneven. There are some dazzling, violent action sequences. I’m a huge fan of director Timur Bekmambetov and even though he manages to contribute many of this signature touches to this film, it’s not his strongest effort. Overall, it’s an uneven, but entertaining fantasy.
GAY ANGLE: Broadway star Benjamin Walker shows off his lanky frame, but there’s no period gayness.
Jerry Williams reviewed movies for WTVR-TV for 14 years and for Style Weekly for 10 years. When he launched his own website in 1998 at TVJerry.com, he took his reviews to the Internet. Through those hundreds of reviews, Jerry kept his sexual orientation muted. So, he's excited to be adding "gay angles" to his postings for GayRVA.com.
