Yes! Yes! Yes! Here is my second Critic after my first on the indie Filipino film, "Jay"...
(1994)
The Film is is based on the 1976 novel of Anne Rice with the same title. The Movie on the other hand is directed by Neil Jordan (The End of the Affair, The Brave One) and top billed by actors Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise with Antonio Banderas and the very young in the film, Kirsten Dunst. It was indeed a Box Office Success generating over a $100 million domestically only.

My Critic:
I am currently a Vampire Lover...I've seen 3 Vampire Movies and this was the third of it...first is Queen of the Damned & second is Bram Stoker's Dracula. I Must say, THIS IS THE ULTIMATE VAMPIRE MOVIE. Of course, consisting of the two sexiest male vampires ever created- Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. (hahaha! what a bias of mine!)I must admit at first I thought Tom Cruise was a touch too 'apple pie' for this role, but he ultimately knocked my socks off! In fact, he is my second favourite vampire ever, second only to the incredible Gary Oldman in "Bram Stoker's Dracula". And Brad Pitt - oooh Brad Pitt - is hands down the most gorgeous vampire ever. And he played the role of Louis convincingly... but in my eyes would've suited the role of Lestat as well. If you love vampire movies, violence and gore, with a touch of romance and sadness then you will also love this film. To Kirsten Dunst, she is wicked and Dark here...parang di ako sanay kasi una ko siyang nakitang teeny-boper sa Bring it On bago ko napanuod toh! It was a great performance for Dunst. It was not a disappointing performance for Tom knowing that before the movie has started to film, names were rumored on the role of Lestat (the late River Pheonix was chosen but 4 weeks before they started filming, he past away; Johnny Depp was also considered bu turned it down and the author's choice at first, Julian Sands).
Over all, It was a Success Theatrically and Critically. One of the most Unforgettable Vampire Movie in the Movie History. I must include this on my 100 films before you die (w/c would i be enumerating soon...)
DARK yet B R I L L I A N T!
