Product: Constantine [Blu-ray] (2012)
Rating: 1.0
A letdown.
The movie stars off pretty good with a few good scenes of tension and drama that has some pretty nifty special effects thrown in but the special effects are few and far between and they don't get any better once the movie really starts up. Then the film does an about face after the second act and nose dives its way to a juvenile and over the top climax that contradicts the entire first half of the movie altogether. The main character himself is more and less the character of Van Helsing with a suit on and an attitude problem. This could be just the way the character was written but I think it could just be Keanu Reeves himself with his dried and dreary way of acting, which can be found in all of his film. Ether way, the main character is not really interesting at all and is upstage by his co-stars Rachel Weisz and Djimon Hounsou, who bring more to their characters than the script does. Unfortunately for the both of them and us the audience, they are working with a script that is so riddled with inconstancies and badly written dialog that you just end up feeling sorry for them for even being this film in the first place.Other than the first rate peformances of Rachel Weisz and Djimon Hounsou, the movie is a major disappointment.
