Constantine (2005)

Directed by Francis Lawrence, this supernatural mystery didn't offer much. Loosely tied together, the movie depicts Keanu Reeves as a supernatural version of Neo, his famous character from the Matrix movies, who roams the Earth searching for evil spirits in a kind of personal purgatory wherein he serves as a mediator between Heaven and Hell.

Aside from Keanu's lines, which were generally mumbled and unclear, the movie wasn't a complete loss. I did like the actress who played the angel Gabriel, Tilda Swinton, as well as the actor who played Lucifer, Peter Stormare, who both gave their roles a unique spin on traditional expectations for those biblical characters.
