Dracula Untold (2014)
Directed by Gary Shore
this film stars Luke Evans, Sarah Gadon, Dominic Cooper, Art
Parkinson and Charles Dance. Vlad the Impaler, now a prince after
years of fighting for the Ottomans is forced to use dark powers to
save his people from his former masters.
There is a really good
idea for a story here but unfortunately the execution does not live
up to it. Not enough time is spent on the protagonist giving up or
struggling against the darkness before making his pact to save his
land to for the character arc to work. Charles Dance is also wasted
in a part that should have been much larger playing up the Faust
style elements of the plot which would have greatly enhanced the
failed character arc.
2/5
