Summary

Supernatural action fantasy based on the Hellblazer comic book, starring Keanu Reeves as troubled Los Angeles exorcist John Constantine. After a young Catholic girl takes her own life, Constantine is approached by her grieving twin sister. As they begin to investigate, they enter a world of the supernatural that sees the pair come face to face with the hidden evil that inhabits the Earth.

Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Leslie Felperin

This diluted but visually arresting adaptation of the comic book Hellblazer stars Keanu Reeves as chain-smoking John Constantine, a cancer-ridden exorcist who's condemned to save souls and take on all manner of vile demons on Earth. Rachel Weisz co-stars as a police detective who teams up with Constantine after her apparently deranged twin sister (also played by Weisz) takes a swan dive off a high ledge. Much muttering follows about portals between heaven and Earth, the struggle between good and evil, and there's some silliness involving a relic that's found in the Mexican desert wrapped in a Nazi flag. Ultimately, the script feels like little more than sticky tape holding together the visual effects, but they're very impressive effects indeed, indicating that former pop-video director Francis Lawrence definitely has an eye, if not yet a lick of storytelling sense. And Tilda Swinton is utterly delicious as an androgynous angel.
