Film: Constantine (2005)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
Constantine (Widescreen Edition)

"You are going to die young because you smoked 30 cigarettes a day since you were 15. And you're going to go to hell because of the life you took... You're fucked."

Review: This is Keanu Reeves best film since the first Matrix. He is good as the jaded demon hunter trying to buy his way back into heaven before he dies of lung cancer. The story is well-told with an excellent ensemble of actors and it has a great ending.

"Yesterday, I saw a soldier demon trying to chew its way out through a little girl."
"Listen, John, demons stay in hell, angels in heaven. The great détente of the original superpowers."
"Thanks for the history lesson, Midnite. You've been a tremendous help."

"So, do I have to take the rest of my clothes off or can I leave them on? John?"
"I'm thinking..."

"No. You will live, John Constantine. You will live so you will have the chance to prove that your soul truly belongs in hell. Oh, you will live. You will live."

4 out of 5 Stars
