Constantine

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2005)

Reeves did his best performance in this film portraying a selfish, debilitated man, caught somewhere between the throes of good and evil and seeking retribution for his prior sins. He makes the comic book hero John Constantine believable. The film is especially entertaining as it doesn't contain an enormous amount of gratuitous special effects, and has actors like Tilda Swinton of "Orlando" fame, bursting through the scenes with excellent performances. The film works as a whole, whereas all of the actors compliment each other, bringing forth a sense of a good old-fashioned action flick. Though the plot may have been generic, it has enough twists to make well worth the price of a movie ticket.
