No sparkles or stupid ideologies, just good old fashioned Vampire slaying but with Abraham Lincoln. This film was serious, not enough to be up it's own arse but had a few hidden puns and well if you paid attention to detail you kinda knew where the film's plot was going if not already aware of American History :p
The characters were likeable, and strangely I didn't notice that Mary Lincoln was the love interest from Scott Pilgram, but they all did a good job especially Dominic Cooper - the next big actor, since his leading role in The Devil's Double I knew this guy was gonna hit it big. But let's see.

Another nice touch was the lighting comparison when things were good the lighting was a glorious yellow but when it was Vampire killing time it all went blue and their was more emphasis on the faces and detail on the characters which gave an eerie effect.
I wanted more bio/histories on the Vampires Henry (Dominic Cooper) sent Abe after but they were only a side plot, Mary didn't get much spotlight either but overall I left entertained.
Tip of the movie: reach for the Axe; they don't run out of bullets.
