Product: Constantine [Blu-ray] (2012)
Rating: 1.0
Rachel Weisz, Djmon Hounsou, and Peter Stormare do great work but the movie itself is pretty bad.
Questionable adaptation of the comic book Hellblazer has of all the people Keanu Reeves playing the role of supernatural misfit John Constantine who is trying to save the world from a conspiracy to bring fourth the son of Satan, who is trying to enter the earth. The huge problem that this film has is of course Keanu Reeves, who is miscast to the point of the film becoming a joke and the screenplay is way too incoherent to understand most of the things that are happening in the film. The lackluster dialog seem more like a USA cable film that a real movie that was releases in the theaters and the special effects don't hold any ground what so ever and they get repetitive after a while, losing most of it's attended impact along the way. Some of the other actors in the film don't even seem to care about their performances with the excerption of Rachel Weisz, whose game and way too good for this type of film performance does more for the film than it should have. She actually makes you care and understand her character and makes her a real three dimensional person who you would have liked know more about and follow instead of the tissue paper dimensional character of John Constantine and his fellow lackeys. Another actor who does way more than he should have is Djimon Hounsou and he does not have enough screen time to make a better impact as well as Peter Stormare, who great interpretation of the King of Darkness is just in the movie for about four minutes.If you want to see it, see it for the game performance of Rachel Weisz, Djimon Hounsou and Peter Stormare because other than their performances, there is really nothing here to see.
