Review of Blade: Trinity (2004) by Martin D — 04 Jul 2010
Good ending of the trilogi..best one in the series.NOTE: Sequel to Blade II (2002).
Prologue: Four fully-covered vampires walk into a stone ziggurat in the Syrian Desert of Iraq. They are looking to re-awaken Dracula. They find him. Only three vampires walk out.
Six months later. Blade [Wesley Snipes] has slipped up. After killing 1,182 familiars and countless vampires, he's killed a human. Shot him through the heart with a silver stake, but he didn't ash. What gives? It was a set up, staged just to get Blade caught and out of the vampire hunting business. FBI agents Ray Cumberland [James Remar] and Wilson Hale [Michael Rawlins] have positively identified Blade, thanks to a video by an anonymous citizen. That "anonymous citizen" is actually Danica Talos [Parker Posey], one of the four vampires who freed Dracula [Dominic Purcell], or "Drake" as he now calls himself.
The FBI has cornered Blade and Whistler [Kris Kristofferson] in their warehouse laboratory, but Whistler is not about to let their operation fall into the hands of the FBI. After yelling at Blade to get out of the building, Whistler blows it up, destroying everything--computers, weaponry, and himself. Blade is devastated by Whistler's death and easily captured. He is taken to the police department where he is being poked and proded by the FBI, who consider him public enemy number one, and by forensic psychiatrist, Doctor Edgar Vance [John Michael Higgins], who has pronounced Blade psychotic and wants to transfer him to County Psychiatric. Police chief Martin Vreede [Mark Berry] pulls jurisdiction and refuses to release Blade to either of them. While they argue over who should have custody of Blade, Vance shoots him full of tranquilizers. Even in his weakened state, Blade has already figured out that Vance is working for the vampires. Then, Danica Talos and several other vampires, including her brother Asher [Callum Keith Rennie] and strongman Jarko Grimwood [Paul Levesque], posing as a transfer team, arrive to move Blade, but Danica can't hide her vampirism from Blade. Unfortunately, Blade is too knocked out to resist.
You're all alone, Blade, Danica taunts. No one's going to help you now.Zoe: [watching Blade inhaling his serum] Why do you do that?
Blade: Because there's something bad inside of me. This keeps it from getting out.
Zoe: Why can't you just be nice?
Blade: Because the world isn't nice.
