  Somewhat "like" a Japanese version of Interview with a Vampire. Japanese culture, japanese setting, wasnt that bad actually.

  <i>Moon Child</i> is a Japanese action drama mixed with some vampire science fiction.<p>The plot is a tad weak in the early going, however the characters and action are good enough to keep this film from becoming a waste of time. At just under two hours, the story spans a good 40+ years, with multiple jumps of months to years as the film progresses. The story also employs a mixture of Chinese and Japanese cultures as the characters interact in multiple languages, including some English.</p><p>For the most part, the pacing is moderate as the action and vampire aspect don't play a major role until the ending. Speaking of the action, which is all gun play, it is quite entertaining, despite the fact that it feels a bit out of place from the rest of the movie.</p><p>Both leads, Gackt and Hyde, are more known for their music, but they prove that they can act as well. Taro Yamamoto, of <i>Battle Royale</i> fame, Lee-Hom Wang, and Zeny Kwok portray the other big characters nicely. The lovely Anne Suzuki doesn't show up until the ending. This is unfortunate.</p><p><i>Moon Child</i> may not be a bloody action vampire flick, but this is still a movie worth checking out.
