UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS Children of Corvinus || Sonja & Lucian

"Vampire and Lycan. We are both children of Corvinus, yet my family are slaves...I will leave this place. But, I could never be without you now." -Lucian to Sonja (Rise of the Lycans 2009)

Michael Sheen (Good Omens) plays Lucian, a Lycan born in servitude with the sole purpose to guard vampires during the day. He is the first Lycan born with the ability to change form at will. He wears a shackle with silver blunts around his neck at all times. Not this prevent him from changing form, but it also symbolize that the vampires see him as nothing but an animal.

Lucian is taken under the wing of Viktor, played by Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest). Viktor is said to be the oldest and strongest of the vampires. While he treats Lucian better than the rest of the Lycans, it is only because Lucian fulfills a purpose.

Viktor's beloved daughter Sonja, played by Rhona Mitra (Doomsday), serves at Viktor's side. She is a fearsome warrior with an aversion to the dance of politics, much to the dismay of her father who not only leads their coven, but also holds the head seat of the vampire council. She is often absent from council meetings and her father believes it to be a simple act of rebellion. A statement that she does not wish to fulfill her responsibilities as a future vampire elder.

In reality, the reason for her absences are due to secret visits with Lucian. The two grew up together and love blossomed, unbeknownst to everyone else around them. Commingling bloodlines is forbidden and if anyone were to find out about their relationship, the consequences could be dire.

After Sonja gets caught in an ambush, Lucian disobeys orders. He leaves the confines of the castle walls, removes his shackle, and changes form in order to protect her. This act leads them both on a quest for freedom, not just for Lycans, but for themselves.

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans was released in 2009 is the third installment of the Underworld franchise. It acts as a prequel to the series and is considered one of the highest rated of the franchise outside of the first film. It is the only film of the franchise that does not star Kate Beckinsale as vampire Selene.

I hope you enjoy the provided edit. If you haven't seen this movie, or this franchise, I highly suggest it.

Watched Underworld on Netflix a couple nights ago, and I peeped immediately where they cut the original footage of blonde Sonya and replaced it with footage of the former Tomb Raider model from Rise of the Lycans.

I always had a issue that they made Sonya a carbon copy of Selene in that film. “You reminded [Viktor] so much of his [precious] Sonya” shouldn’t’ve translated “you looked just like her”. Especially when there could’ve been an opportunity of doing something with VIktor and Selene or her family before he slaughtered said family.

But that’s nuance that the Underworld series isn’t particularly interested in, I know.

Live Free or Die Hard (2007)

Live Free or Die Hard a.k.a. Die Hard 4.0 is a fair Bruce Willis action movie. It doesn’t feel like a Die Hard film - like at all - but the stunts and action setpieces are well done and exciting. So why can’t I muster much excitement for it?

NYPD detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) is bringing Matthew Farrell (Justin Long) to the FBI - he’s suspected of contributing to a nationwide computer outage. Actually, the outage is just the beginning of an elaborate cyber attack designed to disable the United State’s infrastructure. Having unknowingly written the algorithm that Thomas Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant) is employing, Farrell is now a target for assassination.

I’m at odds when it comes to Live Free or Die Hard. There are plenty of exciting scenes. While a part of your brain might die a little at the sight of McClane “throwing” a car at a helicopter, the pyrotechnics are impressive. Seeing him go toe-to-toe with Maggie Q is exciting, as are the gunfights and scenes of improvised weaponry. The cyber attack certainly offers meaningful stakes, as Thomas Gabriel has killed several people to orchestrate his plan and can use anything from redirected traffic to gas lines as weapons. You want him taken down if only so you can see that smug look on his face wiped away.

Unfortunately, the premise raises so many questions. When you find out why Gabriel is doing what he’s doing, you can’t help wondering if there wasn’t an easier way to go about it, particularly since he’s got the money necessary to set up a mobile hacker base, employ international assassins, put together convincing disguises, sneak explosives into key buildings, cover his tracks and more. You might want him stopped but he never achieves the level of menace previous Die Hard adversaries have. Some of this is due to the film’s constantly changing attitude towards hacking. Sometimes, it’s magic. I can buy Gabriel and his cronies cracking the government firewalls and security measures - they’ve been building towards this plan for months - but they can do basically anything with just a few keystrokes, including hacking into well-know hacker systems - which you would assume would be immune to that kind of thing. This tells us hackers are something to be feared… unless they aren’t. Anyone outside of Gabriel’s circle is a weiner who plays with dolls/action figures, “probably doesn’t go on a lot of dates”, and/or lives in their mother’s basement. It isn’t McClane’s meathead attitude misinterpreting what’s going on either. I mean, he does that plenty, showing an inability to wrap his mind around even basic computer-related concepts but Matt Farrell constantly proves himself the opposite of McClane: always frightened, whiny and nervous. He does manage to grow on you over time, however. McClane? I’m not sure. He gets things done because he’s an invincible action hero but there are very few times where he does any sort of outwitting. Mostly, he gets lucky.

Though I doubt the flaws I spotted while viewing Live Free or Die Hard would ever disappear, I suspect they would feel less important on a different day. The plot is unbelievable but certain elements feel true and as an action power fantasy, it's certainly impressive. Bruce Willis is still at the point in his career where he cares and brings his A-game. He and Justin Long make a pretty good double-act by the time the movie is over. I think I've talked myself into giving it a soft recommendation as a movie that will inevitably play on TV, probably around the holidays as part of a Die Hard marathon. At that point, you’re watching it “for free” from the comfort of your couch. That price feels right. (January 2, 2022)
