#THE LAST WITCH HUNTER MOVIE#

Kaulder even acknowledges this sad reality in a quiet moment of reflection at the end of the second act, glumly sighing to a colleague, 'We don’t destroy witches anymore. Instead, he’s more like a witch detective or, worse, a witch parole officer, patrolling known witch hangouts and dutifully checking in to see that the witches under his supervision are following the law, and then hauling them in to be imprisoned by the judicial system when they don’t. Until the last-minute finale, Kaulder does very little that can be legitimately described as witch hunting.

The most glaring flaw of all is even more basic: There's not nearly enough witch huntingįollowing the brief introductory sequence, the movie flashes forward to the present, where Kaulder, now a clean-shaven immortal who favors sleek city coats and black button-downs with ridiculously oversize collars, spends his days tracking down witches who’ve broken the truce and delivering them to an organization called the Witch Council, which delivers its judgment and then locks them away in an underground dungeon. But after the opening scene, in which Kaulder - elaborately bearded and clad in macho furry armor, like a Brooklyn bartender who joined the Night’s Watch - leads a band of ancient warriors into a witch’s den to kill off a witch queen, there’s disappointingly little actual witch hunting.

The movie stars Vin Diesel as Kaulder, an immortal badass who for 800 years has enforced a truce between humans and witches at the behest of a shadowy group known as the Axe and Cross.

But the most glaring flaw of all is even more basic than any of that: There’s not nearly enough witch hunting. Smiley, Eric Rasmussen, Billy Hepfinger, Tamica White, Joseph Rittenhouse, Keein Brown, Tracey D.The Last Witch Hunter has a lot of flaws: its plodding pace, its lazy direction, its muddled story, its hopelessly expository dialogue.

Today, Kaulder is the last living hunter who has spent his immortal life tracking down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost family. In the moments right before her death, the Queen cursed Kaulder with immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter. Armies of witch hunters have battled this unnatural enemy for centuries, including Kaulder, a valiant warrior who many years ago slayed the all-powerful Witch Queen, decimating her followers in the process.

The modern world holds many secrets, but by far the most astounding is that witches still live among us vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world and putting an end to the human race once and for all.
