Constantine. What's there not to love?

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 2006)

As hard as it may be to believe, this film "Constantine" was remarkably cool, despite the lead of Keanu Reeves, a man infamous for his crummy acting. (I have to say, I like Keanu Reeves, even if he acts poorly at times. It's fun to watch him. C'mon. Point Break...The Matrixnow this? You gotta admit, he can catch your eye.) Anyway, I was so impressed by "Constantine" and I myself find that hard to believe. Even my boyfriend who had no expectations at all for the film was so amazed that he said he'll probably purchase the thing when it gets released on DVD. This is a major thing for someone like him to confess. It's hard as hell (no pun intended) to get this guy to truly like a film. That tells me something. I myself, probably would get the film too. It was gripping, it was intense; I loved the visual effects. Like, it even really got me thinking about my own soul and where it would end up.
"Constantine" is a gripping tale about hell's minions, heaven's heralds, and the people on Earth's role in the middle of it all. Trust me. If you like action and don't mind putting yourself through a whirl, go ahead, see a movie that may not change your life, but will change your tendency to judge a book by its cover and Keanu Reeves by his resume.
