• Constantine (1 Disc Edition) [2005]

  Janet Grant 13 August 2005

  

  I don't watch horror films. They scare me. But recently I was on a long flight and this was the ONLY thing to watch, apart from news recorded in about 1894. And amazingly, I really enjoyed it. Impressive special effects, interesting plot, Keanu Reeves for the ladies, it was all good. And the reason I enjoyed it so much? I simply don't believe in angels and demons, in exorcism and in heaven and hell, and that's what Constantine is al, about. I didn't worry about all this happening to me (my usual downfall with horror) but just let the film do the driving.
  
  Constantine IS a bit like a great drive; it's clever, it's fast, it's got twists and turns, it's modern AND it includes an anti-smoking campaign. There's a bit of suspense, a bit of horror, a bit of violence, and it's GREAT.

Supernatural detective John Constantine (Reeves) has literally been to Hell and back.

Horror starring Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, a man who was born with a gift he didn't want - the ability to clearly recognise the half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human skin. Constantine was driven to take his own life to escape the tormenting clarity of his vision, but he failed. Resuscitated against his will, he found himself cast back into the land of the living. Now, marked as an attempted suicide with a temporary lease on life, he patrols the earthly border between heaven and hell, hoping in vain to earn his way to salvation by sending the devil's foot soldiers back to the depths. But Constantine is no saint. Disillusioned by the world around him and at odds with the one beyond, he's a hard-drinking, hard-living bitter hero who scorns the very idea of heroism. When a desperate but skeptical police detective (Rachel Weisz) enlists his help in solving the mysterious death of her beloved twin sister (also played by Weisz), their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldly events, the two become inextricably involved and seek to find their own peace at whatever cost.
