He works for an ecclesiastical outfit known as the Axe and Cross. Diesel – almost unrecognisable in his early scenes, when he has hair and a long beard – plays a character known as Kaulder, a 13th-century upholder of the law whose task was to hunt down unco-operative witches bent on destruction and domination.Īt the time, he was cursed by a particularly evil Witch Queen and given the dubious gift of eternal life when we meet him just after the credits, he's a weary 21st-century witch hunter, living in a Manhattan apartment and still plugging away at his job. It hinges on the notion that witches have always existed in this world, in an uneasy truce with human beings. The Last Witch Hunter, featuring Vin Diesel at his most gravelly and impassive, is a supernatural adventure with an overwhelmingly plodding quality.
