Product: Constantine [Blu-ray] (2012)
Rating: 1.0
Terrible
Terrible action/horror movie that puts on a lot of hot air but lacks a lot of brains and substance to pull off the story its trying to tell. Keanu Reeves was just the wrong man for the job and his performance is that bad. You just want to smash his faces of the people who though that he was right for this kind of role. You just don't take him seriously and you end up laughing at him more than being intrigue by his character. His co-star Rachel Weisz not only has a more interesting character than he does but is 100 times more the actor he could ever hope to be. She not only gives the film's best performance (a performance that has more life and complexity than the film itself) but is the films only redeeming quality. You actually want to spend more time with her character and pick her brain on the life she have lived and the sister she has forgotten instead of the mindless dribble that the film because after the second act. Her story would have made a much better and scarier horror movie but of course this is a Keanu Reeves movie, and we have to suffer with a script and a director who will cater to his limited needs as an actor. The director has some talent with visuals but he has no idea on how to put a actual film together and the screenplay is so unfocused that you really have no idea on what is going on from time to time.Worth a look for Weisz's efforts but don't hold out hope for a film as good as she was
