Keanu Reeves battles evil again in Constantine

Keanu Reeves just wants to do good. For the 40-year-old actor, who plays a demon-fighting supernatural detective in his latest movie Constantine, a film must end with a positive transformation or redemption to grip his interest.And, frankly that is something you might expect from an actor best known as humanity's saviour in "The Matrix" series to say. "I don't want to go to a movie and not have something that I can come away with to think about or that adds up to something," says Reeves, best known as humanity's saviour in The Matrix. Helped by the use of ground-breaking special effects, the futuristic Matrix trilogy grossed over US $1.6 billion in world-wide ticket sales, making it one of the most successful franchises in cinematic history. The trilogy, whose last film was released in 2003, sapped Reeves' time and energy and might have convinced audiences that he was only a Messiah-like action hero. He insisted that Constantine, which opens on February 18, had nothing to do with The Matrix. Its superhero fights demons from hell, instead of machines as in The Matrix.
