Product Description

In the grand scheme of theological thrillers, Constantine aspires for the greatness of The Exorcist but ranks more closely with The Order. Based on the popular Hellblazer comic book series, and directed with nary a shred of intelligence by music video veteran Francis Lawrence, it's basically The Matrix with swarming demons instead of swarming machines. Keanu Reeves slightly modifies his Matrix persona as John Constantine, who roams the dark-spots of Los Angeles looking for good-evil, angel-devil half-breeds to ensure that "the balance" between God and Satan is properly maintained. An ancient artifact and the detective twin of a woman who committed evil-induced suicide (Rachel Weisz) factor into the plot, which is taken so seriously that you'll want to stand up and cheer when Tilda Swinton swoops down as the cross-dressing angel Gabriel and turns this silliness into the camp-fest it really is. The digital effects are way cool (dig those hellspawn with the tops of their heads lopped off!), so if you don't mind a juvenile lesson in pseudo-Catholic salvation, Constantine is just the movie for you! --Jeff Shannon

Battle between Good an Evil in concepts we can understand...very well written and fantasticly played By Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weiz...would highly recommend to anyone interested in that kind of subject...

I have the DVD, and the blueray version has more color and the sound really pops out. The movie line of good versus evil is the theme, but it has a unique twist from the standard man of God versus the demon theme. If you have't seen the original, I don't want to spoil it for you.

This movie blew me away the first time I seen this movie. I wish it were 20-30 mins longer to for more story.
I have wanted part 2 for years now but sadly I am still waiting. I purchased this movie on DVD then HD-DVD. When HD-DVD was put to rest, I was upset because I knew I would not be using that player for long. I broke down and purchase the Bluray for another high def version.
I am glad to say I am not disappointed.

What a good movie. However as good as it is ,it sometimes takes on a child-like sense of humor.... The acting is ok. But i wish they had a stronger story line...The guy who plays satan is great. And Many of the parts are jaw dropping..... I give it 4 out of 5 stars,,,,I do say buy it because when you see it you will want to see it again......

Keanu Reeves, you sure have a penchant for. . .interesting. . .roles. And playing a daemon-fighting supernatural pariah in the quirky film CONSTANTINE is definitely one of them. Wow. The machinations and grandstanding and political posturing between Good and Evil, Heaven and Hell, are every bit as diabolical as what goes on in Washington. Who would've thunk it?
Reeves chain smokes, and mumbles, and sleepwalks through this role as if he wished he were somewhere else, thus making the viewer equally ambivalent. Tilda Swinton as an androgynous Gabriel is quite the howler. And Shia LaBeouf, isn't your fifteen minutes just about up? Yet for everything that really annoyed me about CONSTANTINE, there were some definite pluses. Djimon Hounsou is always good, and Rachel Weisz plays an easy-on-the-eye victim of the forces of Hades. But I really liked Peter Stormare as a most lascivious Lucifer; Stormare comes along at the knick of time, and saves CONSTANTINE from falling apart. Yet I still don't know why I give this movie three stars. Guess the devil made me do it.
