Suprising Reeves Performance

Rating: Null/10 (12 May 2004)

I'd have to say that this movie was a keeper. True, Keanu Reeves does play the leading role with an accent akin to a highschool performance, but his script together with Charlize Theron's break-out role more than make up for this. Also, who can forget the great Al Pacino- who plays an even more sinister character than his usual Mob associated roles- Satan himself. His raspy voice and fiery temper fit perfectly with Connie Nielson (Empress from The Gladiator) as the sensual temptress from Hell. The twist at the end was completely unexpected, as the events leading up to it were very plausable and well pulled off. I give it a 7/10 which is choice considering I prefer comedies.
