A Typical Hollywood Religious Mishmash

Rating: 1/10 (13 August 2007)

I understand why Catholicism is so popular in Hollywood - it looks majestic, it has strange rituals and exorcism, it has Popes and big cathedrals, it contains some very contradicting moments and it does pay much attention to such things as daemons and so on. This movie is a typical Hollywood mishmash of it all, plus some crazy Hinduistic ideas and plus some wild ideas of mojo, talismans and so on. Keanu Reeves looks so tired, pathetic and vapid here as if he was dragged to play here against his will. Tilda Swynton does not help, either, and even great Peter Stormare looks very badly here. Anyone, did you understand the main idea of that film? Me not. I consider this film a total waste of time, celluloid and money. The video effects are so bad, too, that they merely made me laugh. Did they? Anyone who liked this, please, say why it was made, in the first place? And I especially abhor the very idea that Satan may be stronger than God, like he was in this brute of a film. Surely, Hollywood has very poor ideas about the Bible. Learn it, guys!
