It's A Shame....

Rating: 7/10 (12 August 2006)

It's a shame that the director and the producer did not sit down and actually read Dangerous Habits. It's a good story and it would have shown John Constantine's character as it is written in the Vertigo comic series, Hellblazer:John Constantine. The movie was quite good, but can someone please tell me why Keanu Reeves was cast to play a blonde haired Brit that actually looks like Sting? And why was a teenager cast to play the character Chaz when in the comics, he is a fifty odd year old grandfather? I liked the movie, but I hated the way the characters were Americanized. This is where I feel that the film let me and all the other Hellblazer fans down. I probably would have enjoyed it better if they had stuck closer to the original characters and stories.
