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.

Rated: 3.5/5

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.

This is fantastic. Pleasant surprise. Keanu cant act and sometimes that pays off. This is one of those occasions. Thoroughly enjoyable. Give it a crack

Filme fraco e desinteressante, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

This is a gem. A cult classic. It was hard to follow the first time, but you get a general idea that main character can see demons and is able to send them back to hell. He does this from a selfish reason - so that he can correct the mistake he made in his youth. The ending is 👌 with a very imaginative satan. Keanu's character is a bit silly and kitchy, esp the hand sign to the devil at the end. 🤭

It was boring at times, but overall it was really thrilling and had a compelling story. I definitely recommend it for supernatural and horror fans!

If hard to follow, you're stupid. Has enough thrill to last though movie, yet too serious of a premise for most teens/adults to enjoy.
