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.

When Constantine debuted, it received mixed reviews, but in retrospect, critics may have been overly harsh in their initial assessments.

It may not be a comic-accurate film, but it’s smart enough to create rules that it follows from start to finish.

Days are seared by burning sunlight, nights swallow the world and bring out the demons, and Hell is an Earth burning in the nuclear fires of Armageddon.

While it may be a bit over the top on the religious mumbo jumbo, it still is a good movie. One of Keanu Reeves's better films.

For a R rated fantasy/horror film, Constantine doesn't exactly bring home the horror, but Keanu Reeves manages to create a dark, entertaining vibe.
