Flawed yes but still brilliant

Rating: 7/10 (22 April 2006)

Reeves is a perfect choice for the eponymous hero of the film. It is hard to follow at times and the TV version I watched seemed to have a low and at times indistinct sound track, which made it hard to follow in places. Its an interesting concept and has certain parallels to the Matrix: What is reality, who are we? Is God and Religion all BS? I thought the entrance of Lucifer ( The bringer of light) was a clever idea and initially I thought he was God, The white suit was a red herring in this respect as he exuded evil in a very understated way! What was Gabriel? AC/DC? there certainly was a question left unanswered here and having a woman play the part but with no makeup and her breasts bound tight so as to have the appearance of a man was a stroke of genius! More questions than answers and flawed certainly but it enters my list of 20 all time favourites
