I too am surprised at how much people are bagging Keanu on this one, I think it's something a lot of people are doing because it's the 'cool' thing to do. Keanu did a wonderful job in this role and made it quite believable, I know he differs a bit from the original Constantine but what he and the movie tried to make him out to be he did successfully.
I too am always facinated by the struggles of heaven and hell, and I love dark subject matter, the way everything was executed here was remarkable. Francis Lawrence is a hell of a director, every shot oozed style and not in an MTV sort of way, a more David Fincher sort of way. Can't wait to see future projects helmed by this guy.
