Great Film: Constantine
See it! You won't be sorry!
"Constantine" is a dark, yet dazzling film. A terrific story backed up
by spectacular special effects and great cinematography pull us into a
dark and dangerous world - a world where half-angels and half-demons
whisper to us mortals as God and Satan use us as pawns in an
apocalyptic game of chess. Cursed with ability too see these spirits,
John Constantine finds himself right in the middle of this showdown.
Keanu Reeves gives a fantastic turn as John Constantine. He infuses
Constantine with a grim sense of purpose and dark humor. He is the
ultimate anti-hero, and Reeves deftly takes Constantine from being
someone we simply root for to someone we actually like and respect.
Rachel Weisz is terrific as well. Her tortured and soulful performance
is the best of the film. Shia LaBeouf also blew me away.
I have not read the Hellblazer comics, but standing alone "Constantine"
is a great film. This one is a must see!
