Newman is fine but is helped by a terrific supporting cast (prisoners & wardens). The action is sweaty but there are times when it goes overboard & loses effectiveness – indeed it has trouble ending the whole exercise & runs out of steam (sweat).
Starts off great then this Snipes character comes along and kills off the vampires and its all down hill from there. Dorff is fine but when you have a legend in Udo Kier who barely appears it makes you think that they got the casting wrong.
I couldn't always make out what Natalie was saying but it seemed to be one of her better performances. Making a film about someone's real life trauma seems a bit tasteless and mercantile.
I thought the male was a bit of a drip but there was at least an attempt in the screenplay to break the mold. Another plus is that it is not too long and doesn't overstay its welcome.
