Overall, I was pretty impressed with this treatment. As usual, Reeves turned in a sub par acting performance. But at least they didn't turn this into an outright action movie. Except for the Holy Shotgun of Antioch, I thought they stuck pretty well to the overall feel of the comics. The movie would have been better if they had found an English actor to play Constantine, though. They would be able to pull off John's dry wit better than Keanu, who made it look forced at times.
