Imperfect and Irritating but Worth a Watch

Rating: 7/10 (14 April 2014)

It's such an Easy Thing to do. Make Fun of Keanu Reeves Acting Ability or Lack Thereof, but that is a Constant and a Given. Let's move on and Sling the Arrows at Someone Else. Like Shia LaBaeouf for Example, if there is a more Annoying Actor Around, God Help Us ("John how is it going John...John take me along John...John I'm ready John...John, John, John, look out John.") Sheesh!
Here in this DC-Vertigo-Comic called Hellblazer, Adaptation, is a Supernatural/Horror Noir with Angels and Demons that are just Scary and Helpful Enough to make this Over Produced, sometimes Good Looking, Franchise Wannabe, a Passable Effort that is one of those Great/Awful Movies depending on Your Point of View.
The Film Fails to be Edgy Enough, like the Comic, or Bizarre Enough, like the Comic, or Darkly Humorous Enough, like the Comic, to make it Rise from the Ashes of a Coming Post Apocalypse to Anything more than just OK.
Tilda Swinton Steals the Acting Accolades, but that was not Hard. Rachel Weisz seems to get a Pass here with Praises of being a Real Actor, as Opposed to that Poser Reeves, but She might change Her Expression Once in this Two Hour Movie and Her Voice Never Modulates one way or another.
Now if that is Good Acting, it must be that Eye of the Beholder Thing because it is in Fact just Showing Up and Looking Cute. She is Never Convincing as a Police Detective, Sulking and Whining about Her Twin Sister.
Overall this is an Imperfect and Often Annoying but Somehow Watchable Movie.
