Although stylish, and made with attention to detail, the film is utterly betwixt with its own cleverness, wrapped up in a universe mixing Witches and “dark magic” underneath the human world similarly to Harry Potter’s world. The Last Witch Hunter is the kind of film that closely resembles a video game nobody ever made. Along the way, Kaulder meets a young witch, Chloe ( Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie), to get a spell which will allow him to remember his own death – a message from 36 sets him on the path to identifying those he needs to kill. Having lived many hundreds of years, Kaulder’s human “handler”, Dolan 36 (Michael Caine) is tasked with keeping a record of all the immortal’s achievements upon his retirement, 36 is supposedly killed by the dark necromancer forces of the Witch Queen (Julie Engelbrecht), and the 37th Dolan is assigned (Elijah Wood), and both begin the hunt for the Witch Queen’s master-plan. Does it work? Barely, although the film’s incomprehensible exposition sequences and nonsensical jumble of ideas make for tough going, bordering on impossible.ĭiesel plays Kaulder, an immortal member of a secret organisation known as The Axe And The Cross, hunting down witches who break the treaty not to interfere with, or harm, humans. With xXx seemingly on the outer (leastways, it’s been fifteen years or so since he last played Xander Drax), the Riddick films not quite living up to Pitch Black’s high-water mark of excellence, and some awful script choices between the Furious films, Diesel tries his hand at supernatural tomfoolery as a way of establishing another ongoing series of films The Last Witch Hunter is an attempt to solidify Diesel as a saleable brand outside of fast cars and hot women.
The action star, famous mainly as the late Paul Walker’s on-screen partner in the Fast & Furious films, can’t seem to catch a break with an alternate franchise. Synopsis: The last witch hunter is all that stands between humanity and the combined forces of the most horrifying witches in history. Principal Cast : Vin Diesel, Rose Leslie, Elijah Wood, Michael Caine, Julie Engelbrecht, Rena Owen, Olafur Darri Olafsson.
