ULTRAVIOLET
Another sci-fi action piece from director Kurt Wimmer (Equilibrium). Milla Jovovich stars as Violet, a highly trained warrior vampire protecting a boy who holds the key to curing the vampire virus.
Plenty of CGI action sequences and an altered colour palette, but it is
repetitive and looks like an expensive car ad. (2006)
