Good movie with a bit of popcorn cinema

Rating: 7/10 (13 August 2006)

When i've seen the Constantine DVD cover with Keanu Reeves i just expected him as a kinda crisis-ridden, hard-boiled addicted person who's doing his job as a matter of routine. And thats what i got. You see what's necessary, nothing about John Constantines past, nothing about how he knows all the stuff, just that he's an exorcist with nothing to lose, but with a weak point - his health.
What i liked about this movie is the camera work and some good shots, sunlight in the morning for example that's shining trough the windows. As well as the scriptural but not too religious storyline. On the other hand the movie failed in shock moments and had a part which was way too unnecessary, it gives Angela a touch of melancholy which is not bad at all, but more or less unimportant, i don't know if this is good or bad.
I think it was a good movie. It really reminds me of Hard Ball, in which Keanu Reeves had a similar role.
I liked this movie, good plot with a bit of popcorn cinema and some everyday occurrences which makes you laugh. I think it deserves 7 out of 10 stars
