In the movie Diesel plays Kaulder, a witch hunter who has been cursed with immortality by the queen witch. For over 800 years he has seen everyone he's ever loved die, while battling witches from the middle ages to the ones who now live in the modern world. Kaulder's long time assistant, who works through a secret organization in the Catholic church, is about to step down from his position when he meets his untimely death. Dolan (Michael Caine), who Kaulder calls "Kid", is the 36th priest in his position as the witch hunter's assistant. Elijah Wood is Dolan the 37th and he is more than anxious to take his position as the witch hunter's contact and assistant. The two investigate the murder of Dolan the 36th and soon discover that "Black Death", the type of magic used by the Queen Witch, was used on him. Now, The Witch Hunter is in a race against time to prevent all of the witches in captivity from resurrecting the queen and reeking terror on the modern world.
The Last Witch Hunter is an action packed thriller. Diesel provides plenty of action in his fight scenes and the movie has plenty of chills to make it a fun Halloween date movie. Although Diesel plays only "one note" through out this "Dungeons and Dragons" type of screen play it's enough to keep you entertained for the entire movie, which lasts 106 minutes. The movie is rated PG-13 for violence and some scary images. On my "Hollywood Popcorn Scale", The Last Witch Hunter is a nice snack. I rate it a MEDIUM.
