Neither thrilling nor all that romantic

Archived: 02 Feb 2007 | Filed In Film Reviews By day, Vivian (Agnes Bruckner) works in a chocolate shop in Bucharest, but by night she runs through the woods, howling at the moon. That's because she's a werewolf. When she meets werewolf-researcher Aiden (Hugh Dancy), she realizes that she's in danger of becoming the next bride of a shape-shifting werewolf pack leader (Olivier Martinez). That means the chase is on in this romantic thriller, one that's neither thrilling nor all that romantic. Like most werewolf plot lines, what's really happening is an utterly conventional story of good versus evil, of a woman being forced to choose between a bad boy and Mr. Right. And in the movies, the wild life rarely wins when the sun comes up in the final act. Source
