Somehow I feel this movie in a way focuses more than others on feet. I know it sounds strange and I might be alone in my perception but hey this might be useful information for someone.

With the announcement that a Constantine sequel was in development, decided to give this another watch (probably last time was when it was released on DVD). While I'm really not that big into the supernatural horror genre and have only basic knowledge of the Hellblazer comic, I still found this one mildly entertaining and for 2004/05, the effects weren't too bad, with the hell sequences looking pretty dang interesting, hopefully gets more exploration in the sequel. And Reeves was decent in the lead. **3.0/5**

There are hell things on earth and only Keanu Reeves to give them a good kicking! This is a hugely imaginative vision of a movie, not a direct copy of the comic it was spawned from but still a fantastic creation. This movie is one of a kind and well worth your time.

Decent movie. Has some pretty crazy possessions going on. The movie does tend to drag on a lot though. Hard to keep interested till the end.

After her sister rather uncharacteristically takes her own life by jumping from an hospital roof, detective “Dodson” (Rachel Weisz) determines to enlist the help of “Constantine” (Keanu Reeves) to help get to the bottom of things. He is renowned in the world of the menacingly spiritual, and so she hopes that he might be able to help her explain what drove her sibling to kill herself. It doesn’t take him, and his cabbie sidekick “Chas” (Shia LaBeouf) very long to realise that there are demonic activities afoot, and that none other than the angel Gabriel herself (Tilda Swinton) might have a hand in things. “Constantine” has been to hell, he has seen it’s atrocities and knows that he is destined to end up there himself unless he can convince God to intercede and allow him into heaven instead. To achieve this, he has dedicated his life to apprehending the malevolent spirits who cannot yet enter our world, but who can still cause mischief and mayhem, and despatch them back to their netherworld. Crucial to his detective work on this case is going to be the chair in which the last man in the city was electrocuted. This acts as a conduit to hell, but “Midnite” (Djimon Hounsou) is it’s keep
