Keanu Reeves on the highway to hell.

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2005)

Pretty good movie, nothing super, but a fun two hours nonetheless. This movie is about a guy who sees demons and angels and sends demons who are naughty back to hell. The catch (there is always a catch) is that he is dying of cancer and he is not going to heaven when he dies. Why, because he attempted suicide as a young man and according to this movie that means a one way trip to hell no matter how good you are. Well Constantine is not exactly an angel either, even though he performs exorcisms and such. Well a spear has been uncovered and the demons are doing things differently...Constantine must pair with a cop whose twin sister has committed suicide in order to find out the deal. Action and special effects abound aplenty in this movie with some pretty good action and a few doses of horror in there just for safe measure. It is not all good, however, because other than Reeves and Weisz (the gal from the Mummy movies) there is not another soul I recognize in this movie. This movie is also in need of a better bad guy as well as there really is not a well defined one here. Still though you are in for a ride as how many other movies feature a crucifix shotgun?
