Devilish details trip up comics antihero
by Bob Longino

In the dark, demonic, messy "Constantine," Reeves is back and in the title role. Things will get nasty, testy, dangerous. There will be blood, gnashing of teeth, fiery depths and angelic hosts on high. There's not a moment to spare in the fight between heaven and hell -- and, unfortunately for moviegoers, very few moments in "Constantine" to savor. It's sort of like "The Matrix" minus all the cool stuff. Read the full Review

TO SUM UP
John Constantine is a traveling, misfit supernatural investigator who teams up with police detective Angela Dodson after her twin sister's suicide-like death.
