Product: Constantine [Blu-ray] (2012)
Rating: 4.0
Good Action Movie
Keanu's best movies seem to be the ones where he is wearing his Blues Brothers suit. You know, the slim black tie, white collared shirt and black suit. The Matrix, Johnny Pneumonic (Oh cmon..it was pretty good) and now Constantine. His best characters have been "Okay, stand there and look cool but don't say a whole lot". His character is an anti-hero. He's a chain smoking self-absorbed demon hunter who thinks if he kills enough of hell's army on earth then he will be accepted into heaven. He has died once already for a brief time and knows he is going back to hell. Throw in the fact he has lung cancer and you have the character's motivation.The basic premise is Heaven vs. Hell. It's based upon a DC comic series (Comic is included) and Heaven is competing with Hell for souls. Enter Keanu's character. The story was actually very well done. I did not see this in theatres because I thought it was going to be a cheesy "Matrix in Hell" movie. It was actually really good, the special effects were nicely placed and the supporting cast were really good. There was a brief part played by the lead singer from Bush and he can actually act.If you like a good Sci-Fi type action movie with a pretty interesting story and good visuals then this is worth a look. Nice addition to your DVD collection.
