Jordan’s film is a strange and quirky reflection on immortality which doesn’t fit well in two hours where nothing happens but smiles and giggles while drinking the blood of some unfortunate prostitute. I found the performances by Pitt and Cruise frankly ridiculous, as in their roles as handsome and self-indulgent vampires, they seem like hysterical queens bickering over a handful of flies.
