10 Enjoyable Minutes
When an arcane object is dug out of what is presumably the last burial site for Hitler, the separation between realms becomes thinner, and demons are getting too comfortable walking the Earth.A series of events and what may be a suicide or a really bad case of pastrami bring together Keanu as Ghost buster with Attitude, and cop Rachel Weisz, Psychic/o with Attitude. Yes, there's lots of attitude in this movie - even Gabriel has it.In an indifferent appearance Tilda Swanton (more about her later) reprises her role from the inglorious Leonardo Di Caprio vehicle "The Beach" - indeed, "Constantine" has too many similarities.If you were a fan of "Mothman Prophecies" then you will probably enjoy this film to the same extent.I found it tedious & ludicrous, with boundless unexplained detours & over dramatized special effects.One good thing - the actresses are appealing - even whilst plummeting to their deaths. For Keanu fans, there is plenty of `scenery' to salivate over. Tilda Swinton? Ever since "Orlando" she hasn't shed her mutable gender habit - perhaps due to her versatile features & form.Most enjoyable minutes were the first 10, when Keanu - oops, `Constantine', lures a denizen of the lower planes out of the body it is currently possessing by appealing to it's vanity with a mirror. The wretched thing is almost cute as it preens.Lots of blood, guts, gore and special effects. Fluffy scripting & plots, and ridiculously ingenious female officer.kotori 2005
