A ticket to Heaven, my friend

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2019)

A friend of mine actually enjoyed seeing my previous movie review on Joker. So we created a review chat on Discord for some reason. And now, I kinda want to review this pure gem that is in my movie collection.
Constantine (2005) is an 8.2/10.
With a fair warning, the movie is really rough for first-time viewers because it's so damn mysterious. Questions just keep being raised to just about everything. I had to re-watched this like crazy. Bear that in mind, dialogues in the movie are pretty old-school and quite re-watchable.
Now, John Constantine is a comic-book character. He is basically an occult detective who solve demonic problems as to make a living. Audiences are just straight away being thrown into the middle of his life, his routines, and his rituals. Most confusing of all is being thrown into a conflict named the Spear of Destiny.
John despises his life. He has a no given attitude to his demonic society. His knowledge is a curse. His house is protected with chalkboard writings and tiles formation. His services to the church are nothing but merely daily chores. He was never worthy to go to heaven.
With a fairly tragic life, he never wanted to embrace his abilities. However, he is the one soul that Lucifer will come up to take his soul away. John then needs to seek help to redeem his ticket to Heaven before it's too late.
This movie shows just how lonely a powerful character can be and yet, he keeps striving for greatness. His hopes and his cold humor is just really the thing that keeps him alive.
Go take a look at it if you want a medium slow-burn movie with awesome Keanu acting.
Oh and also, stay away from smoking. Don't be like John :))
