Lets go ConstantineI really don’t know what do think of this movie. I think the general view is that this movie looks too “Matrixy” for Keanu Reeves‘ first post-Matrix outing. Basically the evil robots have been replaced with evil demons. However, if I do check out a movie this weekend, it would be this one….
