Cool film, Keanu sucked though.

Rating: 7/10 (23 February 2005)

This was a beautifully filmed creep show. It reminded me of such thrillers as "The Prophecy" which also features rogue angels, the devil, and humans caught in the middle. The visuals had the right amount of noir decadence (the scenes in hell are especially trippy) and comic book kitsch (Constantine's holy cross shotgun). Not being a follower of the comic I found it to be entertaining and worth seeing.
Even though Keanu's acting sucked I wouldn't blame it all on him. After all, Ifound his acting reasonable in the Matrix and a few other films. This director obviously has more experience with hip and flashy music video's than dramatic delivery. He had a good enough casting director to get a lot of good actors (Djimon Honsou for example)to fill supporting roles but he couldn't manage Keanu's canned expressions and inability to carry subtlety. Keanu can do OK if he's got a good coach, but he can't do crap w/o one.
