Constantine

CONSTANTINE (2005) - Feb. 26, 2005
Though I haven't read any issues of Hellblazer, the comic on which this movie is based, I think it's a safe bet that it's better than this movie (especially since it was created by Alan Moore). The movie started off okay; it was well directed, and Keanu Reeves was quite good as the very grizzled John Constantine. But after a while I found myself losing interest, and I was getting pretty bored by the time the film slowly lumbered to its conclusion. It was overlong by at least half an hour, which didn't help, plus the plot got really convoluted towards the end. Peter Stormare injected some life into the movie as Satan, but his part was, unfortunately, quite tiny. **
