I liked Constantine. I did. He certainly has an otherworldly light to him.

I happen to agree.
He kind of reminds me of Nic Cage, he's not the greatest of actors out there, but somehow I seem to enjoy pretty much every movie he's in.

I second this opinion. Nicholas Cage is also one of my favourite actors, yes he's not the best actor in the world with acting skills that make you go "wow!" but there is that charisma & likeability he has that makes his films enjoyable. Keanu Reeves is cut out from the same mould.
and I happen to love Keanu in this film. in fact this film & his performance is what made me into a full-fledged fan. -

I don't think he's a particularly versatile actor, but in this film he was absolutely spot on. That smirk when he's in the lift and she asks him if he's going down . . .

Apart from the tattoos and the nonstop chimney, hes exactly the same as Neo. The guy can only play one type. Different setting and all that but watch this, Matrix, Mnemonic, and you see three exact the same character with a little habitual differences.
But he does seem to pop up in alot of cool movies, movies were acting isnt required i guess
Any last words ?

I agree with the OP. Keanu is a solid actor and he did a very good job in this movie. His acting style is different from other actors and maybe some people don't seem to understand it. That's all right because he always does his best in his roles.

Don't be silly. Film companies don't put just anybody into their $100 million dollar movies. They carefully pick actors who are most likely to bring them a profit. Keanu has proved himself over and over as one of those few guys who can do it. -

To be honest, I LOVED this film. I agree with Nicholas Cage comment because I'm a big fan of his as well and I've enjoyed pretty much every film I've seen them in. Keanu CAN act though, though he's sorta typecasted as a guy who CAN'T act well, his performances in Devil's Advocate, The Gift, Street Kings, A Scanner Darkly & The Matrix movies are some of the BEST I've seen from him. It's sad that most people still see his acting from Johnny Mnemonic and the Bill & Ted movies.

I liked Constantine a lot as well, as a matter of fact I liked all the films Keanu has been in. The Devil's Advocate and The Lake House just to name a few. This film is really good, I never miss it when it's on air.

Keanu single-handedly destroyed this otherwise great movie. A miscast if there ever was one. The character Constantine was based in Sting (he even looked exactly like him in early comics) who has one the most cynical smiles you can ever show (try seeing Dune to see what he's like acting). Keanu has like no smile. He can barely smile. Constantine is a perplex character with much cynicism and dark humor, whereas Keanu is a door. He acts like this tormented soul, suffering his way through the movie and wasting any jokes and smirks in that uninvited sorrow. Loved almost everything about the movie. Couldn't barely stand looking at Keanu as Constantine without feeling anger. And trust me, I'm not a Keanu hater. He was just terribly miscast to portray his doorlike qualities, that can be such a asset to him.

I really like the way Keanu plays John Constantine. These moody, troubled characters almost always suit his personality type. I've seen lots of Keanu's films, and I tend to enjoy most of them.
Most notably Point Break, Speed, A Scanner Darkly, Bill & Ted movies, The Matrixetc I think he's been in some really great films.
He's no Gary Oldman or anything, but he's never pretended to be. He's just a nice guy, and I think he deserves his success.
