10 Awful Films Prison Break Actors Want You To Forget
10. Dominic Purcell (Lincoln Burrows) - Blade: Trinity
Blade will always be significant since it was the first Marvel movie to receive a cinematic release (apart from Howard the Duck but let's not mention that). With its phenomenal fight scenes, hilarious one-liners, and a badass performance by Wesley Snipes, Blade was among the best action films of the 1990s.
And when it was announced the vampire king himself, Dracula, would appear in Blade: Trinity, fans couldn't contain their excitement. Although Dominic Purcell sounds like an odd choice for the the iconic villain, he fits into the role of the Transylvanian Count quite well.
Sadly, the character is so underwritten, Purcell doesn't get a chance to do anything with the role strut, hiss, and glare.. The most memorable thing he does is chat with a woman about vampire vibrators. (I still can't believe this was directed by the same guy who wrote the story for The Dark Knight).
However, Dracula's portrayal is the least of this film's problems. The action is generic, Ryan Reynolds' jokes fall flat, the editing is choppy, and Snipes is sleepwalking through every scene.
It's refreshing Marvel is rebooting the series since Blade: Trinity left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
