A pleasant surprise!

Rating: 9/10 (3 March 2005)

Honestly I was not expecting much from this movie. I'm not a huge fan of Keanu Reeves and the comic book movie genre has a heck of a lot more losers than winners. What I got was a very pleasant surprise.
I have not read the Hellblazer comic books so I can't attest to accuracy, but this was one hell of a movie (no pun intended).
The movie was well acted on all parts, even the kid from Even Stevens (whom I very much dislike) did a good job with his role. What really surprised me was the storyline. It was great. Not just a run of the mill angels vs demons with a human in the midst. It was well thought through and excellently portrayed. A huge plus to the movie was the special effects. Simply incredible in every way. Everything looked very realistic and was beautifully done.
I can't not recommend this one. The only people I can understand not enjoying this movie are people too absorbed in themselves to consider the possibility of Heaven and Hell or Catholics/Christians who are too over the top to enjoy a good movie about such a serious topic (regardless of the moral, which I thought was a pretty good one). I say that this is a movie to see.
