What I love about it: I'll be honest, I have a soft spot for Vin in fantasy and sci-fi roles. I blame his inner DnD geek, but he just seems to have so much fun with them and I never care about how silly they are. This movie, however, has layers that particularly grab at me. With a premise of immortal dude faces off against evil inhuman witch, it would be really easy to make it a pretty 2D fight. Yet we see Kaulder kind and caring, despite his horrible long life. He wants to help the teenage witch who mucked up on the plane not scare her into sense, he'd care if Chloe was falsely accused, and he doesn't think they're like us (humans) but it's just an unemotional fact to him. Not a judgement. For a man who lost everything he loved to witches and is thought of as the boogeyman, he doesn't have a lot of vengeance in him.

I also love the little glimpses we get into the normal everyday life of witches. I want to know about the society that allows for a bar like Chloe's to prosper. I want to know about the tiny, pleasurable magics that feed into that awesome looking light flower on her drinks tray. Or their ties to the earth. Or the many ways in which they feel connected to human society, and not superior to it. Just witches being witches and getting on with their lives. There's a bit of a Harry Potter amazement factor there that is obviously irrelevant to the part of the story that would include Vin Diesel so it's not the focus, but it's tantalising.

From a content notes perspective, it's a Vin Diesel movie. So there's plenty of violence, death, evil magic, magic used to strip autonomy from people or punish them, etc. etc. They're pretty good at not making all the evil witches female, but the ultimate fight is still good dude vs. evil woman. I am, as always, happy to answer any questions
