My thought about Constantine by Keanu Reeves
In a world where God and Satan made a wager to amass souls, John Constantine is ready to deport as many demons back to hell before he faces God’s judgment and maybe bride his way to heaven is a con-move by a con artist.

If you are a fan and love watching Horror/sci-fi, then this is a movie for you to watch. I would not expect anything less from Keanu Reeves, and Rachal Weisz. The movie is straightforward with a wonderful character build among the actors.
A human tale of struggling with the unknown and overcoming the everyday temptation to become a better person.
In the movie, there is no feeling of confusion or unwanted scenes. The movie takes you too many places in the natural and supernatural realm.
This is one of the most amazing Dc’s movies I have seen. Don’t judge the movie by its rating, why?
It is not all about the actions scenes, but how the scenes are connected, a perfect synergy between the supernatural and human realm. The movie gives you a sense of understanding that humans are not the only people living with the mortal realm of existence.

Unlike most supernatural movies, the movie Constantine by Keanu Reeves seems matured, remains fresh in memory even after watching for a long time.

Simply put, the movie is great.
I think I deserve the right to name this movie as 5/5. This is not about the actions scenes or the action in the movie itself, but it just that I find the movie awesome!
