Other, odder performances come from androgynous Tilda Swinton as the archangel Gabriel, and Peter Stormare, looking weird and repulsive, as Satan, although this latter portrayal is ultimately disappointing. Rachel Weisz is also effective as the heroine, proving to be more than just a woman-in-peril, and her natural beauty shines through many of the odd sequences in which she partakes.įurther down the cast, we have a trio of outstanding performances from a) Djimon Hounsou as Papa Midnite, a voodoo practitioner with buckets of style, b) the singer Gavin Rossdale as impossible suave demon Balthazar, and c) Pruitt Taylor Vince, he of the bizarre eyes, as a sympathetic clergyman. Reeves is very good as the laconic, chain-smoking star, giving a relaxed and mature performance, one of the reasons I like him more and more as the years progress. The plotting and back story of the film is impressive, with plenty of technobabble to delight the viewers, and the acting isn't half bad either. The latest comic-book offering from Hollywood is this dark, depressing supernatural thriller which sees Keanu Reeves as a Neo-like hero, this time employed as an exorcist to prevent half-breed demons from entering our plane.

It certainly isn't a bad film, with the visuals, direction and decent performances, making up for the plot convolutions and the sticky moments in the screenplay. In terms of character and storytelling, the film feels diluted. However, the plot is very convoluted, and lacks a clear sense of direction, and the script feels rather sticky. Francis Laurence directs efficiently as well, and there are some good scenes such as the discovery of the relic in the desert- daft I admit though. Tilda Swinton is the best though, she is absolutely delicious as the androgynous angel. Peter Stormare is fantastically suave and debonair in his villainous role.

Rachel Weisz is a lovely actress and she is good here in two roles. I do not care for Keanu Reeves, but he does an okay job in the title role, though his character could've done with more development. The music score is excellent, and there are some good performances. The special effects and cinematography are outstanding and keeps you interested. There were some good things about Constantine.
