D: Time people to see a movie from across the Atlantic ocean. From the loverly French nation, we give you Dark Portals (or as its called in its native land, Vidocq).
It tis the story of Detective Vidocq, who disappears after trailing a murderer known only as the Alchemist, who is wearing a mirror like mask. A young man who claims to be the famed detective's biographer sets out to solve the mystery of Vidocq's disapperance and finds that there was more to the case that the detective was working on then anyone could imagine. The trail of evidence leads the young biographer through the streets of Paris during the Revolution, to the secret world of the high class, and the back alleys that only a few dare go. All leading to the exciting conclusion of this dark tale.
Now, aside from having to read in subtitles, this movie was awesome. A nice original idea that keeps your interest like no other. The way that the movie was shot did set me off a little. But it was still awesome despite that. The fighting scenes were action packed, and the idea of the mirror mask and its orgins is something to behold. Bloody, but an interesting idea. I not only recommened it, I also bought it. It's that awesome. Plus you know how I heard of it? A music video that I saw on youtube a few years ago. It's the music video fo the movie itself. Its called Hope by Apocalyptica. Go ahead, check it out and tell me your not interested. Go on do it...
