So we went out and saw this on Saturday.  It was pretty good.  There were some unfortunate storyline and character elements that prevented this from being good.  (Keep in mind, I mark hard!)

The casting of the devil was at best, unfortunate.  The actor, Peter Stormare, is someone you've probably seen before in many movies and some TV shows.  He just wasn't evil enough...  when I see him I think “homeless guy“, not “the Devil“.

Surprisingly, Gavin Rossdale, was in this movie and was playing demon Balthazar (in a nice suit!)  He would have made a better Devil.

I also had a problem with some of the story.  I liked it overall, but at the beginning when they're giving some history on Keanu's character, they described him as having attempted suicide and he died for 2 minutes and went to hell...  then he came back (somehow, it's unclear).  Because he killed himself, and he's a catholic, he's now condemned to hell after death...  So now he fights to get some spiritual cred. and get into heaven...

Right... okay, gotcha.  I understand the concept.  But .. .uh, excuse me... one question?  He didn't die, right? 

So, either...
1)  He didn't succeed in committing the sin, and shouldn't be condemned to hell.  Or...
2)  He's still alive now and can go repent, as a Catholic, and get past those pearly gates.

Was I the only one who caught this?

I like Cruise. I like Speilberg. I like aliens. So I must like this...

It's coming June 29th.

Constantine, with Keanu Reaves, is looking good.

It's out February 18th.
