"Blood," directed by Chris Nahon and starring Korean actress Gianna Jun, is an expansion of the 48-minute animated film of the same name. In the movie, Saya (Gianna Jun), a 400-year-old half-human half-vampire, cooperates with a secretive organization to hunt down other bloodsuckers. Her archenemy and final target is Onigen, the leader of the demons. Saya's latest mission brings her to a high school on the U.S. army base in Tokyo. Here she meets her first real friend in a long time, Alice, who is the daughter of the base's General. Saya's dilemma of killing, often brutally, her bloodthirsty half's kind in order to save her other half is the center of the story. The movie adds depth to the original anime, a gore sword-slashing thriller, by challenging the traditional views of vampires and humans, good and evil. Its message is strictly anti-war: The act of killing diminishes humanity, even if it is done for a "just" cause. Gianna Jun puts on a brave show in her Hollywood debut. However, she falls short of delivering the complexity of a 400-year-old who spends most of her life killing things. Of course, part of the challenge is her admitted difficulty with acting in English. If Jun intends to continue her career in the International market, she must try to tackle the language problem.
