Dracula 2000 (2000)

An immortal human being named Matthew Van Helsing (Christopher Plummer) who keeps himself alive with these objects that look like leeches has battled Dracula (Gerard Butler) down in London, England almost two centuries ago and thought that he has put an end to him. He kept him safe in coffin at a chamber.

During the year 2000 a group of thieves from New Orleans steal the coffin but end up being killed by Dracula during their plane flight back to New Orleans as their plane crashes in a lake.

Then Dracula wrecks havoc with the locals their killing people by drinking their blood as well as turning them into vampires to work for him in order to search for Van Helsing's daughter Mary Heller (Justine Waddell) so he can turn her into one of his people.
Van Helsing and a vampire hunter named Simon Sheppard (Jonny Lee Miller) travel from London to New Orleans to try and rescue her before it's too late.
Mary has a bad feeling about Dracula being able to trap her with no escape.

During the beginning the story seems quite rushed but then it starts to make sense while watching through it.
It's a nice look at a Dracula film of the millenium and it's terrifically paced and lots of vampire action fighting.

The acting is in good taste. Gerard Butler is believeably scary as Dracula with his menacing looks and dynamic performance as well as his cold like speaking.
Christopher Plummer brings the charm to his role as an immortal trying to hunt down Dracula as he is great with his character and speech.
Justine Waddell was also great with her role too as Van Helsing's troubled daughter.
Jonny Lee Miller shows terrific energy as a vampire slayer.
Jennifer Esposito seemed to grab alot of viwers attention as a lustful vampiress who knew her stuff inside out.

There is a brief breast shot of a woman that dracula is making love to while floating.

A couple people are stabbed with spikes.
Peoples necks are chewed off and lots of blood splattering too.
Bloodied bullet shots. A sliced off head of a black vampire and two vampiress' beheaded as well.
Van Helsing has a bloody stabbing of a sword through his neck.
A sharp piece of wood is stabbed through a vampiress' heart.

Patrick Lussier is wonderful with his direction in the film. 
There's good shots on an old ship during a prologue in the sea with some corpses.
Cool shots on Christopher Plummer using a needle to get blood from a leech as well as his reactions whne he injects it acting like he is really getting high along with nice close up shots on his eyes changing.
A good surrounding with the supporting cast performed by people like Lochlyn Munro, Sean Patrick Thomas, Danny Masterson and Jennifer Esposito around Dracula's coffin plus great moments with some boobytraps when they try to remove the coffin too.
Danny Masterson does well trying to open the coffin acting frusterated by it. as well as good shots on him trying to remove a leech from his nose as he reacts well to the pain.
There's a great jumping moment with Gerard Butler as Dracula suddenly jumping up from his coffin. and grabbing Masterson by the throat as well as a great close up shot on Butler's fangs.
A nice surprise shot on Butler standing upside down revealing his fangs as well ready to attack.
A good close up eye to eye shots on Butler and Esposito  as well as a good shot on Butler reaching his hand to her and suddenly biting her on the neck.
During this moment we have a nice tense reaction on Sean Patrick Thomas along with him holding a gun and firing.
A nice hallucination sequence with Justine Waddell and Butler as Waddell does well trying to shake off from what she's seeing and telling herself to wake up while Butler stares at her mysteriously and slowly walks towards her. There is also a close up camera shot on them face to face.
A nice peaceful dialogue between Waddell and supporting actor Nathan Fillion when she tries to confess to him at a cathedral.
A nice and witty performance with Jeri Ryan screwing up doing some takes on the news near a swamp as well as a great painful reaction on her when she is scratched on the throat by Butler.
A nice battle scene with both Plummer and Jonny Lee Miller against mainly Esposito as she shows some nice vampire like attitude.
Lussier sets the dialogue perfectly between Plummer by telling Miller about his past with Dracula a century ago as there's a good narration by Plummer showing a flashback that involved him and Butler.
A nice shot on Butler sitting on top of a ledge of a house.
A good performance on supporting actor Jonathon Whittaker as he is questioningEsposito through a glass and she does well acting very crazy and lustful during this moment. A great shot on Esposito breaking the glass and grabbing him in. Other supporting actor Robert Verlague knew how to scream like a sissy when Butler approaches him which looked impressive.
A nice shot on Butler walking by in a music store with some extra's as girls browsing some Cd's and him looking like Mr Charming. Good shots on the extra's noticing him.
A nice setting between Butler holding Colleen Fitzpatrick's hand in a music store showing that vampire like charm.
Butler does well slickly coming up to Fitzpatrick on a staircase face to face as well as great camera shots on a lustful scene between the two of them with good effects.
Great fighting sequences between Omar Epps and Miller with some good kicking and body slamming in a parking lot.
A nice shot on Butler cornering Plummer and speaking silently to him.
Waddell is impressive holding a bat and walking around the house by being cautious in case Dracula is near.
A nice angle shot in the hallway of the house with Waddell being trapped between Ryan standing and speaking to her along with Esposito and Fitzpatrick crawling on the sides of the walls which looked quite suspenseful.
There's also a good camera shot panning in on Butler in the hallway about to charge towards Waddell as she does well looking frightened and trying to escape. There's also a cool shot on a wolf running to attack when this happens.
Perfect shots on Waddell running through a cemetary with fog rolling in.
A good and brief direction on Miller being pitted against Ryan, Esposito and Fitzpatrick.
Butler does well with his quiet speech in front of an electric crucifix hanging from the top of a building with good camera shots on him near a ledge.
A good setting with with Waddell biting Miller on the neck as well as him reacting in pain to it. Both Esposito and Fitzpatrick do well reacting to this showing their fangs and breathing out loud.
A great battling sequence between Butler and Waddell along with Miller battling Esposito which were the best fighting sequences directed by Lussier.

The music is also terrific compsed by horror film composer Marco Beltrami as his music is very mainstream sounding by having strong classical music with the horn playing along with some drumming sounds and the odd chanting. Some good screeching sounds too to top it all off.

We have a bitchin soundtrack which is a similar style to the Spawn soundtrack with artists like Powerman 5000, Disturbed, Slayer, System of a Down, Monster Magnet, Godhead, Linkin Park, Pantera, Static-X, (Hed)P.E., Taproot, Endo, Flybanger, Half Cocked and Saliva.
