Netflix Only a few days away from dropping many films have been on loan from other studios for the past few months.
One of those movies is Constantine2005 movie inspired by books starring Keanu Reeves. Rachel Weisz. Shia labeouf. Tilda Swinton and more.
Would be wrong to call Constantine A superhero film, as John Constantine (Reeves) is not a hero, and much creative freedom has been taken in this adaptation.
Constantine Celebrating his 20th anniversary this year, and it’s a wonderfully great film you need to hold on Netflix before he leaves at the end of the month.

Following a collection The matrix trilogy, Reeves found another role that suited him Constantine. Granted, the character was changed to be more like Reeves himself rather than a British occult researcher from the comics. However, those changes work very well and turn John into a much more sympathetic character. In this version of the story, John dies of lung cancer and craves for forgiveness from heaven by banning demons and saving people so that he can avoid eternity in hell.
Because John can see supernatural beings, he knows that demons are real and he has been fighting them most of his life. Reeves action chops became useful, as this incarnation of John favors firearms over pure magic. He is not just a credible action hero; It is very human and transferable as well. Reeves may have been like Superman’s The matrixBut John Constantine was simply a man.

No one should surprise that Rachel Weisz is extremely talented. She had already established herself years before Constantine released it. Her character, Angela Dodson, could have been just another cardboard maid in distress. But instead, Angela is very compelling in her grief for her recent deceased sister, Isabel, who is also played by Weisz. Angela is a police detective, and it’s not just Isabel’s death. She has been carrying a secret for decades that they both shame and intimidate her.
Weisz conveys all this in the phrases and language of the Angela body, and it is arguable that it gives a stronger performance than Reeves does. This may be Fflic Keanu Reeves, but he would also not work half without the Weisz ground persona. She is the normal person who is caught up in a supernatural conspiracy that could end the world. And no matter how amazing the film gets, Weisz adds a more realistic dimension to it.

If you’ve ever seen Jonah HexThen you know how ugly a film can get when Hollywood makes too many changes to the character of the comic book that inspired it in the first place. Constantine Make even more changes than that film, but the key difference is that the changes have led to a better film. The supernatural attitudes of the script give more talent to the action than a typical Keanu Reeves film, and somehow it all flows together quite without.
It must also be said that this film had a ridiculously well cast, with Djimon Hounsou and Pruitt Taylor Vince In support of roles opposite Reeves, Weisz and Swinton. Peter Stormare Also having a very fun cameo appearance, but it’s too big of a spoiler to say what character he plays.

Warner Bros. Photos.Constantine Also happens to be a favorite personal film of Reeves himself, and has expressed an interest in revenge his role many times. In 2022, a word emerged that Reeves and Director Francis Lawrence would work on Constantine 2 For Warner Bros. photos.
