Constantine

Thing1 and I went to see this movie yesterday. Reviews were luke warm but its easy to see how a "film critic" would overlook this film.

It's another look at the eternal fight between Heaven and Hell, God and the Devil, with Keanu Reeves trying to keep the playing field level. Plenty of Biblical references and some unique Biblical interpretations. Even the Angel Gabriel wasn't immune to temptation.

The movie is far from perfect but the message in redemption is well done.

My wife and I saw it last weekend.

I'd give it a B-. Interesting idea. Well done special effects. But for some reason it just didn't absorb me. Decent popcorn flick, though.
