Suffered from an Uneven Plot

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2017)

"John Constantine" (Keanu Reeves) is a man who was born with a gift in which he can see angels and demons as they walk upon the earth. Regrettably, not quite prepared for this unexpected ability and with nobody he can turn to for help, he subsequently commits suicide and his soul is sent to Hell. As luck would have it, however, he is allowed to live again provided that upon his return he helps keep the delicate balance between angels and demons there on earth. In simpler terms, there can be only so many angel and demon "half-breeds" who are allowed on earth and those who violate certain rules have to be sent back to where they came from-by deadly force. But then one day things take an immediate turn for the worse when John realizes that he may be the only person who can keep the world safe from a very powerful demon intent upon breaking the barrier and setting up his own kingdom there on earth. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had good potential but it suffered from an uneven plot which became more bizarre and ridiculous as time went on. It's almost as if the writers had no clue about Biblical scripture or the supernatural and simply made things up as they went along. Be that as it may, in spite of the rather absurd story-line, I suppose this movie was okay for the time spent and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.
