The X-MEN film franchise burst onto cinema screens 16 years ago in 2000, this film as well as 1998’s BLADE and 2002’s SPIDER-MAN helped breath life into big budget comic book films.

Well you get BLOOD PUNCH, a horror/noir/comedy/thriller that is about as far removed from those two things as possible.
