Comsistently Good

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2008)

I can't believe all the negative comments this movie received. I read 5 of them and they all had the same theme. Keanu Reeves was no good and Rachel Weisz was fantastic and saved the movie and lastly the script sucked. It was almost like these comments came off an assembly line. Ignore them they do not know what they are talking about.The true situation here is we have a lot of Keanue haters with no originality in their comments at all.
The movie was entertaining, intelligent, with crisp dialogue. Keanue did a solid job as did Rachel however I reserve my best praise for Peter Stormare who played Satan. I watched this movie twice just for his scene which had me laughing and had me somewhat on the edge of my seat knowing he is capable of very bad things and at any moment could let loose which is exactly what was intended. Tilda Swinton did a believable job as Gabriel, in fact I cannot fault anyone in this movie.
I would not hesitate in recommending this to anyone unless of course you do not like Keanue in which case he could give an Oscar winning performance in any movie and you would not like it so do yourself a favour and do not bother to rent this DVD.
I would normally rate this movie about a 7 (about 3 points higher than any comic book adaption I have seen apart from Batman Begins, everything else is crap). I gave it a 10 to counter the idiots on here who wouldn't recognise an entertaining movie to save themselves.
