The story of irreverent supernatural detective John Constantine, who has literally been to Hell and back. When Constantine teams up with skeptical policewoman Angela Dodson to solve the mysterious suicide of her twin sister, their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldly events, the two become inextricably involved and seek to find their own peace at whatever cost.
John Constantine is the exorcist who has been to Hell and back, and whose soul is sentenced to hell. He has been deporting demons to get on good terms with God, yet God wants self-sacrifice. After the mysterious suicide of her twin sister, detective Angela Dodson goes out in search of the truth. Together, Constantine and Angela battle the demons on Earth.
I&#39;ve watched it once and intend to watch it several more times.<br/><br/>I understand that it was based on a comic book which I didn&#39;t know until 10 minutes before watching it.<br/><br/>I think knowing the comic book story will benefit others when watching the movie first time. Personally I didn&#39;t get much of it. I need to watch it a few more times to get to grips with the full story.<br/><br/>The Gabriel thing confused me, I wasn&#39;t too sure what that was all about.<br/><br/>The action and supernatural effects were second to none.<br/><br/>I look forward to reading more comments that can help me understand this movie.
Take the general idea of The Matrix.<br/><br/>Add in theological and religious ideas.<br/><br/>Take out the phrase &quot;whoa&quot; and the overuse of computers.<br/><br/>Then you have a good view of Constantine.<br/><br/>Excellent movie, although those of you who cannot handle a questioning of faith will not like this movie, even if its final message is very spiritual.<br/><br/>The special effects were not, for the most part, incredibly overt, but the subtly was well thought out.<br/><br/>I enjoyed this movie moreso than the Matrix. It had the general feel of the Matrix, but did with Constantine that they couldn&#39;t do with the Matrix.
Constantine, which opts in the end for what I can only describe as a kind of supernatural humanism, is not without its spiritual satisfactions.

Near the end of the movie, Constantine is attacked by Gabriel so he commits suicide to lure Lucifer out. (As stated earlier in the film, Constantine is probably the only person that Lucifer would personally appear to collect.) Knowing that Lucifer is powerful enough to stop his own son Mammon from taking over Earth, Constantine informs him that Mammon (with help from the archangel Gabriel) is in the next room preparing to take over and rule Earth. After stopping Mammon and Gabriel from completing their ritual, Lucifer offers to thank Constantine with one wish, to which Constantine requests that Angela&#39;s twin sister Isabel be spared and sent to heaven, instead of remaining in hell. Lucifer grants Constantine&#39;s wish, and just as he is about to take Constantine away in hell with him, he is interrupted by a divine light that begins to take Constantine to heaven (reward for sacrificing himself in exchange for Isabel.) Realizing that Constantine&#39;s selfless sacrifice just duped him, Lucifer grabs Constantine and resurrects him, curing him of his cancer, and leaving him on Earth. (The black substance that Lucifer is holding in his hands is Constantine&#39;s lung cancer.) After resurrecting him, Lucifer tells Constantine that he now has a second chance to commit another sin strong enough to damn him to hell. At the end of the movie, Constantine - now free of lung cancer - decides to chew gum instead of smoking. Its a golden crucifix crafted onto a shotgun that&#39;s also attached to a flamethrower. After Beeman was killed, Constantine found his notes and formulas of how he made weapons and created the crucifix-shotgun. He only uses this when he fights demons though. He is a half-human, half-demon form. Constantine refers to him as a &quot;half breed.&quot; He was sent by Lucifer into the world in order to scare Constantine and convince him that he is going to hell. Beeman, his deliveryman and trusted friend, brings him holy artifacts and valuables. He offers John:<br/><br/><ul><li>Bullet shavings from the assassination attempt on the Pope.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Crystal balls filled with holy water from the River Jordan to burn the demon.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Small matchbox of screeching insects from Amityville that can disturb a demon&#39;s hearing.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>A golden flamethrower filled with dragon&#39;s breath.</li></ul><br/><br/>The golden crucifix-shotgun is crafted by Constantine after Beeman is killed.<br/><br/>Constantine carries a copy of The Holy Bible with him.<br/><br/>In his fight with Balthazar, Constantine uses golden brass knuckles with crosses on them.<br/><br/>In the demon street scene with Angela, Constantine lights part of the holy shroud of Moses. Gabriel&#39;s supernatural powers and qualities are very much taken away, and is left to live as a mortal in earth susceptible to pain and all the other vicissitudes of mortality. This is highlighted when Constantine punches the archangel who then screams in pain and bleeds, and John remarks &quot;this is called pain, Gabriel, get used to it&quot;. Not really. Constantine&#39;s demeanour, his way of life and his chronic smoking are relatively accurate, but his appearance and nationality are completely different. He does have a taxi driver friend called Chas, and has an association with an African-American voodoo expert called Midnite, although Chas is his own age and is physically tougher than Constantine is. Gabriel&#39;s fate is also similar in the comics.<br/><br/>The plot is based loosely on the Dangerous Habits storyline, as Constantine is dying of cancer and is required to outwit the devil, but the similarities pretty much end there.<br/><br/>One of the biggest changes is changing Constantine from British to America. This can be overlooked depending how much a fan of the comics you are. Yes. After all the end credits have rolled, there is a brief scene in which Constantine visits Chas&#39; grave at the cemetery. After a while, when John is about to leave, we see Chas, who has ascended as an angel, standing on his gravestone, and then flying onto the sky.
