Constantine

Celebrated music video director Francis Lawrence made his feature debut with this stylish adaptation of the comic book "Hellblazer." A man with special gift to see half-angels and half-demons among humans gets involved in the epic battle between good and evil. Visually striking with a talented cast, Lawrence and his crew make the best of the source material which has to be judged as such. It's a comic book interpretation of religious figures mixed with supernatural ones and humans set in Los Angeles. Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz star with the support of Tilda Swinton and Djimon Hounsou amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
