It's much better than you may have heard

Rating: 8/10 (23 February 2005)

Keeneu shows more humanity in this than the three Matrix movies put together. The story is good, follows the comic well. I liked the dual role that Rachel played and thought her work was some of the best she's done. Tilda Swenton is very good as the Arch Angel Gabriel. I would definitely suggest you not shy away from seeing the movie or buying it when it comes out on DVD. The movie left me wanting to know more about the characters and how the story proceeds. Guess that's why I've heard talk of doing a sequel. The movie was shot a little dark for me, it was hard to see the characters some of the time, but I"m finding that in a number of movies lately. I don't know if it's a homage to Film Noir or what but I don't like it.
