I ended up getting a pair of them and took my kid brother to see it. We though at first that they were passes to see the new Elektra movie but they were passes for the new Keanu Reeves film called Constantine. Now I don't know much about the comic on which this film is based on but I did enjoy what I saw on screen. Keanu Reeves was ok in his role but he looks a little too glum for his own good and really did not fit the character he was playing. While Keanu is the star of the film, it's the performance of Rachel Weisz that really shines here and she does draw you into the story more than Keanu does. Djmon Hounsou and Tilda Swinton do well with the small roles they both have and Peter Stormare makes an interesting king of the underworld. Some things did not work well in the film like the whole cancer subplot that added nothing to the story at all and the character of Chaz, which should have been left out of the movie all together because of how useless and annoying he was. Despite those things, the movie is entertaining and I would recommend it to my friends when it comes out.. <<< Back To Reviews
