And just the same, it tries in vain to hide from its PG-13 rating with a forced grim, dark aesthetic. Other times, it seems to cater to young adult audiences with its modern revamps of classic fantasy tales. At times, it styles itself as a tribute to the kitschy sword-and-sandal flicks of the 1980s, much in the vein of “Conan the Barbarian” and “Highlander.” “The Last Witch Hunter” just doesn’t know what it wants to be. However, shortly after the mysterious death of Kaulder’s advisor Dolan 36th (Michael Caine) it is up to him and Dolan 37 (Elijah Wood), the previous Dolan’s successor, to discover what happened as the treaty between the witches and humans seems to be coming to an end.Novem(Official “The Last Witch Hunter” Facebook Page) Cut to modern-day New York City and a more cynical Kaulder is living in a world where witches and humans share a peaceful co-existence. During an attempt to bring down the witch queen (Julie Engelbrecht), a curse is placed on Kaulder which causes him to see both his wife and daughter perish, while he continues to live forever. In The Last Witch Hunter, Diesel plays Kaulder, who was known during the middle ages as the ultimate destroyer of plague-infesting witches. Adding to this list is the horror/action/fantasy piece The Last Witch Hunter, which again sees the actor trying to expand his cinematic horizons, or at the very least, the number of franchises under his belt.
Most of the projects he chooses to take on, which don’t have him racing cars or blowing up government property, leave him with one forgettable flop after another. He just can’t seem to break free from the shackles of the big-budget movie franchise.
