Great Film, take my word for it!

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2005)

this is film is to be viewed from a comic book reader conceptionabout comic books and life in general. because if you take a closer look at the fact presented, funny or cool as they may seem, they're just plain stupid. angela dodson being a devout catholic that goes to church every Sunday and also a police detective that shoots people on a regular basis seems a little bit off doesn't it? or john giving the devil the finger while being hoisted onto heaven? no. definitely not to be taken seriously or commented as such, PEOPLE! it's a cult film. based on a comic book. and not even entirely(which has really stirred the buzz with the hellblazer community btw). but within these boundaries, i, personally think that it's one of the best. right up there with the dark knight. Sure, as anyone may have noticed, rachel's performance is outstanding. and too much at that. for this sort of film anyway. reeves delivers quite good one may say(despite all you phony critics out there that have nothing but contempt for the guy), i especially like the "one last show" grin towards the end. glad i caught that cause that was beautiful. need i say anything about the dude in the white outfit? a more suited actor for this particular vision of Satan is impossible to find. in 5 minutes of screen time stormare blew even little miss dodson out of the water. again surprisingly great acting. fan or no fan. you should watch this. the powerful actors and great skill on the filmmakers part come together using the strangest choice for a story, and everything just to make you feel like a kid again.
