Unoriginal

Rating: 6/10 (23 February 2005)

This film was a disappointment and the bad news is that I wasn't expecting much. I can almost hear the pitch for this film. " Instead of being original this film is simply a Keanu vehicle like "The Matrix" with some action sequences stolen from "Blade", it has the childish pop theology of "Prophecy" (although "Prophecy" was far better) and it has an apocalyptic finale not unlike that of "Ghostbusters". Throw in a supernatural little film-noir/anti-hero gumshoe from "Cast a Deadly Spell" and you have "Constantine". The film had decent special effects but nothing too amazing by today's standards. I say rent it and save your money.
