Not even close...

Rating: 2/10 (29 March 2016)

I read and loved the comic book this movie is based on (Hellblazer).
The script writers did not even bother to keep the important climax from the original story. I've never expected a movie to be very very faithful to printed sources (books, comics) but this is ridiculous.
The movie is thin as spring ice with no depth, none of the cleverness and interesting side characters that appeared in the original story. It is simply not a Constantine movie. For people that have never even heard of the original character before the movie I guess this would be a 5-6/10 movie, okay to watch when bored. The two stars I gave this movie is for Peter Stormares and Tilda Swintons efforts. They are the only redeeming quality of this title.
For anyone that have even a fleeting hint of the Constantine story called Hellblazer, this Keanu Reeves (as Constantine? Why not Nicholas Cage as Gandalf??) time-waster isn't worth it's name.
