Daybreakers

Daybreakers is a vampire film with a twist.  The majority of the world is vampire and the blood supply is getting low.  Ethan Hawke stars as a vampire hematologist charged with solving the problem with synthetic blood.  The movie has a modern/retro look and does a good job showing night as the normal time of day and daytime as the quiet time of day.

The plot is intricate and maintains interest.  The cast includes some great performances by Sam Neil and William Dafoe.  Ethan Hawkes performance is what keeps the movie moving in a positive direction.  I found the alternative story line from other vampire movies quite intriguing.
