The final installment in the Blade-trilogy, Trinity is not the strongest of the three (I think it’s the second one), but with six years between the first and now the last, it is very interesting to see the development in style. Since these films are representative of the Hollywood action-spectacle, we get a very keen sense of how much has changed in those six years. Cutting-pace has been increased, particularly in the fight sequences such as Blade’s fight against Drake where everything becomes a blur and it is at times practically impossible to see what happens on screen. The pounding techno-music is still there, pushing the adrenaline-rush, or at least attempting to do so. While it doesn’t bother me, it certainly doesn’t add anything either.
This is not a good film, in the sense of providing any form of insight or critical stance on contemporary soceity, but anyone expecting that are clearly misguided. It is an entertaining film, as long as one does not search for plot-holes since they are rampant everywhere. The fight-choreography is good, again reflecting the post-Matrix use of wires in Hollywood and the increase in wuxia-style fights, despite this not really being a martial arts flick.
