Cheesy Popcorn Entertainment

Rating: 7/10 (8 November 2011)

Constantine is an action horror film directed by Francis Lawrence as his directorial debut.It stars Keanu Reeves as John Constantine,together with with Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, and Djimon Hounsou. The film is based on Vertigo Comics' Hellblazer comic book.
Constantine portrays the lead character,John Constantine as a cynic with the ability to perceive and communicate with half-angels and half-demons in their true form. He seeks salvation from eternal damnation in Hell for a suicide attempt in his youth. Constantine exorcises demons back to Hell in a bid to earn favor with Heaven but has become weary over time. With death looming, he helps a troubled police detective learn the truth about her sister's death while simultaneously unraveling a much larger and darker plot.
Constantine solid production values and an intriguing premise but it lacks focus to be interesting,absorbing and engaging.It has a messy script that even talented cast involved like Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz can't save this movie from boredom.
Overall,Constantine turns out to be a cheesy popcorn entertainment despite having supernaturals and spirituals involved in the story.
