Product: Constantine [Blu-ray] (2012)
Rating: 1.0
Forgettable, excerpt for the performance of Rachel Weisz
Forgettable horror yarn that is more or less a rip off of better movies that have come before, but with out the decent script or the credible leading man to push it forward. Keanu Reeves is a decent actor but he is miscast in the title role of John Constantine and some of the things he does as an actor in this movie is more distracting than helpful to this film. It may have worked wonders for his Matrix films but it does not fly here and it's painfully obvious when you see him read some of his lines that he knows this as well. Most of the supporting cast is almost as bad as he is with their roles with the excerption of Rachel Weisz, who gives an mesmerizing performance that deserves a much better all around movie than this and Djimon Hounsou, who gives his brief performance as a voodoo doctor who runs a after hours club more meat than the script has in itself. The special effects are crassly done in some parts of the film and the script feels like it could not get pass the many rewrites that took place for this film.It's worth a look for Rachel Weisz and Djimon Hounsou performances but I would wait for DVD instead because the movie itself is not that good.
