As a suicide survivor, demon hunter John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) has literally been to hell and back -- and he knows that when he dies, he's got a one-way ticket to Satan's realm unless he can earn enough goodwill to climb God's stairway to heaven. While helping policewoman Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz) investigate her identical twin's apparent suicide, Constantine becomes caught up in a supernatural plot involving both demonic and angelic forces. Based on the DC/Vertigo "Hellblazer" comics.

Critics Consensus

Despite solid production values and an intriguing premise, Constantine lacks the focus of another spiritual shoot-em-up: The Matrix.

Blazes few new trails and bogs down in a confusing narrative muddle.

I deeply loathe the Heaven-and-Hell genre to which this cinematic comic-book spectacular belongs.

3/10

Since the various goings-on are abnormal, puzzling, metaphysical, and embellished by dated computer graphics, it’s difficult to get too wrapped up in the plot.

Constantine resembles nothing so much as a punctured tire with a slow leak, letting all the air seep out until what’s finally left is flat and fairly ineffectual.

The Angel Gabriel and Satan are some of the best depictions of well-known Bible characters that I’ve ever seen on screen... A breath of fresh air in today’s hyper-cookie-cutter style comic book movie world.

In a titular way, it has no faith. In any time, you can find many media's based off characters, such as Batman or Superman. However, some cannot such as "Joker" or even as bad as its sequel. "Constantine" is the movie which I compared to the other. To start off with, Keane Reeves is the one who portrays John Constantine (who is not John Wick) & he is different from his DC Comic counterpart, who was British (of Liverpool decent) & blonde, whilst he is dark haired & North American, so that is less accurate. There are some laughable parts, such as how unprofessional the CGI of the demons, how Constantine tried to suffocate a spider with a glass cup & 2nd hand smoke alongside the woman - short blonde curly haired - who was actually an angel. Is that what ruins this dramatic movie? The story about the chemistry between John & Rachel Weisz. Enemies to lovers was not my thing. I rated it higher that expected because it has a cult following. And that was when Keanu Reeves was handsome.

Love this movie. It is slick, dark, fantastical, humorous and the cast are well placed and carry off a believable and solid story line with an almost effortless ease. There is one cast member whom plays the same role they did in iRobot, but in this movie, they get whats coming to them so it's satisfying to watch. Special effects are top notch too. I've watched this so many times and there are new little details I missed each time. Critics have got this wrong in my view. This is a great movie.

To me Constantine is endlessly rewatchable, one of those rare films that grabs you mid-scene and refuses to let go. Stylish, moody, and oddly hypnotic, it’s the kind of cult favorite you can stumble into at any point and still feel compelled to stay until the end
