Hell is caught in a mirror...run for your lives!

Rating: 3/10 (17 August 2005)

Hell is coming...taking over people...so why aren't more people running for their lives?
In this movie, Keanu Reeves plays John Constatine, a man who as a child was able to see things that were never meant to be seen. In other words, hell demons. Now as a young man, he's addicted to cigarettes, and makes his teenage friend, Chas Kramer (Shia Labeouf)drive him to locations where demon's are usually found, lurking about. Constantine's introducing scene involves him, trying to save a young girl who's body has been abducted by a demon trying to get out of hell through her. His way of killing this demon? Getting it stuck in a mirror, and throwing it out the window.
Supporting actress Rachel Weisz plays Angela, a detective who's twin sister, Isabel, has recently committed suicide after being in a Phsyc ward. Looking for answers about what happened, ("Isabel would never commit suicide," she says) she goes running to Constantine. The corny parts of this movie, are the key parts, more precisely the one scene where a whole bunch of winged creatures attack Weisz and Reeves in the middle of a road, where as nobody else in the street notices a thing. The lines are tacky and confusing, leaving you with a major headache from trying to figure out what language Mr. Constantine is trying to speak. Plus this movie leaves key characters out of the entire middle film, and then suddenly makes them reappear at the end. Also this movie pushes aside the fact that their are other people in the world besides the key characters, and makes it seem as though no one else notices hell eating up the earth.
This story wants to be good real bad, and although has decent special effects, lacks quality acting, and a script that explains what the hell this movie is talking about.
