2000s
In 2005, he starred in Constantine, which was supposed to be almost like a sequel to The Devil's Advocate. In 2006, he starred alongside Sandra Bullock again in a romantic movie called The Lake House, which apparently did not do good, but opinions like this come from critics. Everyone has their opinions of movies. People say Ned Kelly with Mick Jagger sucked, but I liked it. See what I mean? Don't ever listen to critics!
