Constantine

Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Djimon Hounsou, Max Baker

An ordinary man with an extraordinary gift must save the planet from evil in this action-packed fantasy. Unknown to most people, the world is crowded with spirits both good and evil who walk among us ... read more read more...in human guise. One of the few who can see these spirits is John Constantine (Keanu Reeves), but the responsibility of his vision is more than he can stand, and he tries to kill himself. Saved from death, Constantine must now atone for his actions by acting as a guardian in the middle ground between Paradise and Hell. Constantine also makes the acquaintance of Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz), a police detective who becomes aware of his unusual gift while looking into the death of her sister; he leads her into the unknown world of the spirits and soon circumstances demand that they join forces in a desperate bid to save humanity from evil. Constantine also features Tilda Swinton, Peter Stormare, and Gavin Rossdale, the latter best known as the lead singer of the rock group Bush. Michelle Monaghan (Made of Honor) was originally in the film (cast as a half-breed demon) but director Francis Lawrence cut her scenes. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    What do you figure the chances are for my last two movies to both feature automatic crucifix firearms?

    Well, I watched this piece of Hollywood blasphemy just before dropping Jodorowsky's Holy Mountain. Hmm..., maybe there is a God.

    Everyone loves to hate on Keanu but he makes John Constantine an appealing anti-hero to me (I liked him wayy better than Neo, seriously). The action and chemistry with Rachel Weisz made me rewatch the movie the next day.

    John Constantine is trying to save his soul by hunting down and "deporting" demons who intrude on human affairs when he stumbles across a psychic whom the son of The Devil intends to use to escape from Hell. Keanu Reeves revisits Neo as the chain smoking anti-hero of Constantine,... read more a film that can be thought of as "The Matrixorcist". It's a comic book adaptation that blends religious mythology with superhero conceits and the format of Noir thrillers. Since The X-Files, this idea has been done a hundred times, but rarely so well; the plot is a lot more involving than most of this type of thing, Constantine is a far more interesting central character than that of the usual super hero schtick and the mythology is used very creatively. The visual effects are also great having a really nice interpretation of Hell which looks like those old videos of nuclear blast zones and the quality cast (including Pruitt Taylor as Constanine's alcoholic priest side kick, Tilda Swinton as Angel Gabriel and Peter Stormare's wonderfully creepy Satan) draw you into this dark underworld of demons and angels. Stylish, inventive and with a lot of atmosphere, Constantine still stands up as one of the best films of its type. If you're a fan of Guillermo Del Toro then you should definitely check it out.

    Don't let my rating fool you; 'Constantine' is a very special effects laden film, with a surprisingly quality performance from Reeves. The problem with this film was that it wasn't very good. There is a certain amount of fun watching Reeves in a non-Matrix role (minus The Day the... read more Earth Stood Still remake), as well as seeing him kick the asses of a bunch of demons, but I felt that the Hellblazer comics could have been adapted a bit more, a bit grittier, and stayed true to it's source material.

    While this in no way resembles the true spirit of the Hellblazer comics, I'll admit that i've always been a pretty big fan of this. Keanu Reeves might not be the John Constantine that you're used to, but he gives a really strong performance and interesting take on the character. ... read moreHe's like the American, slightly more sympathetic and good-natured version. Tilda Swinton's Gabriel was probably one of my favorite part, she was just ridiculously cool and made the character so much more dynamic and powerful. With great supporting roles like Shia LaBeouf, Peter Stormare and Djimon Hounsou as Papa Midnight, it's really hard to not appreciate the surprisingly great acting for an early comic book adaption. While some of the concepts being dealt with might be odd and silly, the execution is so perfect that it works. Visually, Constantine is pretty much a flawless movie. It manages to get down a gothic style for LA that really sets a proper atmosphere for the subject matter. While it's not Hellblazer, it's still a great movie in its own right and incredibly fun.

    If I judge this movie by the story, I would have to disagree with many things that they have shown here. But if I put that beside and judge everything else, it's really good. The performance, special effects, fighting, etc.

    As long as you take the material with a pinch of salt, Constantine proves to be an exciting flick with a good mixture of drama, action and violence. Keanu plays a chain smoking, angry version of Neo but in a way that you never once think about the Matrix. Instantly forgettable bu... read moret stil a lot of fun.
