The legendary Keanu Reeves and inimitable writer China Miéville team up on this genre-bending epic of ancient powers, modern war, and an outcast who cannot die.
The writing is waaaaay too obtuse. The story takes a cool concept (an ancient, immortal being seeks mortality) and puts a very new coat of paint on it. Unfortunately, it tries to be too thinky about it.
I would very much like to know more about what China Mieville and Keanu Reeves both brought to the table.
They created something indeed. Still in Miéville's vibe, but a slow compilation of voices which suddenly comes together.
