Product: Constantine [Blu-ray] (2012)
Rating: 1.0
Good acting from Rachel Weisz aside, the movie is not very good.
Pretty bad special effects opus that insults more than entertains with a script that is full of cliches and inconstancies. Keanu Reeves is a ok actor when he's not faced with something challenging but he's criminally miscast as the detective who has a hand on the pulse of the supernatural. His presence lacks credibility and the reading of his lines of painfully funny in the wrong kind of way. Rachel Weisz on the up side does more with her character than the movie does with itself, giving a haunting and powerful performance that is WAY too good for this movie. She almost does too much for this film, while the film really does not do anything for her at all, that's how good she is. Shia LaBeouf is alright but his overdoes his comedy stick way too much for his own good, making him more annoying than useful and Djimon Hounsou is criminally underused in a stereo type role and he's way more talented than Keanu himself. The special effects were decent and some of the cinematography was great in showing the aspects of hell but with out a good a script or a real leading man, the movie is only held together by Weisz's performance but she like the audience is let down by the climax, which really pulls the rest of the film apart and makes it into a three ring circus.
