Based on a graphic novel I never read, this tale is about good and evil. God's gargoyles who protect the human race are in a war to fight demons from hell. In the middle of all this is Dr. Frankenstein's monster. He is given the name Adam - he's the first of his kind. It is predictable plot wise. It isn't extraordinary in any way. It sort of lags in some spots. Eckhart (Thank You For Smoking) is amazing - it's a two shirter. He appears to be doing his own action scenes, too. Australian Strahovski (Chuck) is a human doctor. Australian Otto (The Starter Wife) is the leader of the gargoyles, and her right hand man is Australian Courtney (Jack Reacher) - see below. Now, he could have gotten more off shirt time. He's amazing at the sword play and action stuff.
Englishman Nighy (Underworld) was of course the bad guy - I mean what else would he be in a fantasy flick like this?!! Australian Stasey (Reign) had a small part as a gargoyle warrior in this, too. By now you are asking why on Earth are there so many of today's up and coming Australian actors in this? Well, the director is the Australian director, Beattie would did the Pirate of the Caribbean movies. This one has no humor - well it isn't supposed to, but because it's not very good you may find yourself laughing at its predictability. All in all, I say: SKIP IT - but when it comes out watch the fight scenes.
