Awful
Pretty bad and confusing horror movie that has Keanu Reeves trying to come across as an man with a holy mission but only ends up making an fool out of himself though out the entire film with a character that has no redeeming qualities what so ever. You don't really give a damn about him or his problems and you actually want him to get hurt because he's such a jerk. The female cop (Rachel Weisz) who is following him during the course of the entire movie is a better character than he is and a much better actor as well. She's at least made me want to sit though the entire movie to see what will happen with her character while I was hoping for Keanu to get killed off in a very brutal way. Shia LaBeouf is also good and that's because he's not in the movie that much and he's not as annoying as he was in I Robot. The guy who played Papa Midnight was also good but he's not in the movie that much as well. The bad guys did not do much other than try to look menacing in all their digital glory and the pay off of the film is rather hooky. The story is good but the screenplay feels like it was rewritten several times because some of the actions of the characters seem sporadic in certain scenes of the film and the film is just way too dark to see a lot of what is going on right in front of you. The visual effects are good for what is expected and certain scenes do hold a resonance but that's really it. I hold much respect for the efforts made by Rachel Weisz, the guy who played Papa Midnight and to a lesser degree Shia LaBeouf (a little of him does go along way) But Keanu Reeves fumbles really bad in his role and let them and the audience down with a performance that will probably be a pinnacle of his career.
