Product: Constantine [Blu-ray] (2012)
Rating: 5.0
Horribly under-rated
I really enjoyed the atmosphere in the film. The plot itself was very intelligent, the powers (angels/devils) have complicated plots and plans which are clearly and imaginatively represented in the movie. Keanu Reeves is a great movie star, ok so he will never be regarded as one of the finest thespians in history, irrelevent - he brings a presence to the character of Constantine. Rachel Weisz (as we know now) is more than just eye candy, a talented actress she brings the right note of vulnerability and humanity to her character. Tilda Swinton's portrayal of the androgenous Gabriel was suitably delicate and surreal. All in all i found the film very enjoyable, i loved the twisted take on the whole Judeo-Christian mythology - God is probably not a nice guy, angels can be smug callous and vicious creatures, demons are badder than you know and the whole of humanity just puppets - very refreshing. (Four 1/2 out of five (five for tilting))
