Maybe the director's cut would have had a little more impact, I don't know. The movie was dark and interesting, and it had some very impressive scenes, but I was left with the feeling that it could have been better. It was like there was something holding it back. Still, if you like Larry Clark movies, it's worth watching.

When the Coen brothers do their best work, the results can be amazing, but it hasn't happened since Fargo. I guess I was hoping The Man Who Wasn't There would be different, since it wasn't a comedy. Coen comedies always sort of left me dry, anyway, so I was looking forward to a new drama. The Coens do their best work when their humor is contrasted against some kind of heavy darkness.

The problem is that it just isn't heavy enough, or dark enough. In the end, it's just a rather unfunny comedy with a couple of dead bodies in it. Visually, it's perfect. It doesn't capture the style of the old film noirs, but rather improves on it. The actors are all very good, too, even if some of them aren't at their best. But, the story just isn't strong enough to hold it together. There's no intensity.

I usually like violent low-budget vampire action movies, but this one was a piece of crap. I'm amazed that someone can look at a script like this and say, "Yeah, let's make that one."

A vampire cop and a human cop team up to hunt a rogue vampire who is actually behind the silliest conspiracy since The Arrival. I could put up with a plot like this if the dialogue wasn't so darned bad. Why the hell does Adrian Paul keep saying, "Let's go to work"? Is he suggesting that Woodbine is lazy?

Some of the violence is okay, but this is just a really bad movie.
