it was .....ok

Rating: 4/10 (22 February 2005)

I saw this movie two days ago and was a bit disappointed.
This movie had the potential to be really good! I thought Keanu Reeves did an excellent job in portraying his character (this coming from a person who hasn't been that impressed with him) the special effects were great. A lot of Catholic beliefs interwoven in the movie, such as the belief that if one is to commit suicide you would go straight to Hell. This fact becomes a main theme in the film.
As I sat in the movie theater I kept waiting for this movie to pick up. And I waited. It wasn't until the last 30minutes that things began to pick up and by then the movie was over.
Overall, i would see this movie again except not in the theater. Bottom line: it had the potential to be good, but the screenwriters didn't see to that. Many characters weren't developed enough, it was too slow when it should have been faster, and wasn't impressed with Rachel Weisz's acting. There, I've said it. Weisz may have a pretty face, but her acting isn't up to par in this movie
