It’s Pronounced ‘ConstanTYNE’….
Finally got round to seeing Constantine on Friday evening, which despite what they say in the film I will continue to pronounce correctly
Drawing significant elements from Garth Ennis' Dangerous Habits storyline in the comic, it's by no means a bad modern horror film. It draws on a variety of other sources, including every 'demonic birth' film there ever was, and so occasionally comes across as a bit of a mishmash, but an enjoyable one for all that.
The one *huge* problem with it is the fact that Keanu Reeves performs about as badly as I've ever seen him in anything. It's dreadful in this, conveying none of the nuances that the character is offered via the script or plot, and in no way convincing as a man who has seen greater horror than can be imagined.

well I quite liked it, but then I had no familiarity with the source material, and have grown used to Keanu’s “acting” style!
3 star movie imho
