A fearless warrior immune to vampires, Blade (Snipes) has become a hated enemy of the bloodsucking community, and as they gather in their desert compound, a group of vampires is plotting to eliminate Blade once and for all by turning the mortal community against him. The vampires have concocted a misinformation campaign that paints a picture of Blade as a ruthless murderer and has sent the FBI on the vampire hunter's trail, led by the relentless agent Cumberland (James Remar). At the same time, the vampires have brought their founding father, Dracula, back to his undead state, renaming him Drake (Dominic Purcell) and investing him with special powers that allow him to walk unharmed in daylight. After a dangerous encounter with Cumberland, Blade and his ally, Whistler (Kris Kristofferson), form an uneasy alliance with a scruffy team of human vampire slayers, the Nighstalkers, led by Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds), and Whistler's daughter, Abigail (Jessica Biel. While Sommerfield (Natasha Lyonne), a biologist working with the Nightstalkers, researches a scientific answer to the vampire problem, Blade and his comrades take a more hands-on approach against Drake and his minions, including Danica Talos (Parker Posey), Asher (Callum Keith Rennie), and Grimwood (Triple H). Blade: Trinity was directed by David Goyer, who also wrote the screenplay for this film, as well as the first two movies in the series. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
The only one who seems to be having much fun, though, is Parker Posey, camping it up as one of the vampires.

, Time Out
This has all the appeal of reheated, congealed blood.
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
I hope this is the end, that it's three and out for the Blade franchise.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
If ever there was a case for quitting while you're behind, this Blade is it -- ready to be buried in a vat of garlic.
-
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
Diverting but dumb and more goth than gothic, Blade: Trinity builds up to a less-than-epochal smackdown.
