Az emberi érzékek számára felfoghatatlan vidékeket különös lények, angyalok és démonok népesítik be, tetteik sokszor a mi világunkban is következményekkel járnak. John Constantine magándetektív ebben a másik világban is járatos. Ugyanis megjárta már a poklot - szó szerint. A természetfeletti ügyekre specializált nyomozó egyik nap a szokásosnál is nehezebb ügybe botlik. Megbízója nem hisz a túlvilágban. A rendőrnő eddig csupán a kézzelfogható bizonyítékokban hitt, most azonban még az ördöggel is szövetséget kötne, hogy megtalálja ikertestvére gyilkosát. (RTL Klub)

Constantine - A démonvadász egy olyan film, amelybe elsőre nem biztos, hogy belejön az ember, de másodszorra annál jobban fogja élvezni. A valóság és a fikció határán mozgó saját világába avat be minket, a mindennapi életünkből vett komoly vallási kérdésekkel párosulva, egyedi, intelligens, és okosan, távolságtartóan kezeli a viszonylag őrült anyagot. A látvány nem csúszik öncélúságba, a karakterek jól kidolgozottak, a színészek nagyon korrektek. Nem egészen a mainstream nézőnek való, inkább figyelemre méltó kuriózum ínyencek számára. Ez majdnem olyan, mintha azt mondanánk, hogy "nagy költségvetésű underground".

A conman, a joker, a thief, a magician... Well, simply John Constantine. An Englishman from Liverpool, a blue-eyed, cynical, amoral, scruffy-faced blond who is forever shrouded in a cloud of cigarette smoke and, in a mysterious English fog, solves mysterious cases in which he relies on his wits rather than weapons to outsmart (or cheat) almost everyone, from ordinary mortals to the bigwigs of hell. None of the above, however, can be found in this movie adaptation, not even a hint of it. Not in terms of the look or behavior of the main hero, or the location, or the plot, or the action, or anything. And yet that doesn't mean Constantine is a bad movie; it’s not - it's just a bad adaptation. But damn it, of all the "CGI action comic book movies" it is, even years later, one of the best. Everything here is as it should be with a good popcorn movie; it just doesn't have anything of what a good adaptation of “Hellblazer" is supposed to contain.

Forget about Max von Sydow, here comes the coolest exorcist to ever grace the screen. The digital beasts bothered me the least of all (and they are not overabundant, as others have mentioned), on the contrary, I enjoyed the intriguing plot, the overflowing charisma of the great Reeves, the beauty of my sex idol Rachel Weisz, and several visually memorable scenes. And the last twenty minutes, with a clever and witty twist and the most stylish Lucifer in years (Stormare really is the devil), make Constantine a truly outstanding film. 4 1/2 *. Oh, and don't smoke or you'll go to hell.

Well, Constantine may be many things, but its hardly a second Matrix. Admittedly, both the visual styling and the intertwining alternative world motifs seem like a good foundation. But Lawrence's film does not have the figurative power of the Wachowski brothers' opus, and even the main idea is communicated too lazily, intermittently, as if trying to camouflage its simplicity. Yes, all those religious discussions are bearable and sometimes interesting, but it simply cannot match the postmodern straightforward power of The Matrix metaphor. But that's the only negative thing I'd point out about Constantine. Otherwise, it is a very entertaining and interesting film in all respects. I quite like the torn concept of Reeves, even though the dark side is hard to believe with his angelic face... But Constantine needed a star. The craftsmanship packaging, including the effects and visuals, is really good and corresponds pleasantly to the story. In the end the final gradation and a hint of twist outweighed my complete impression and the good side. A four-star spectacle with a hopeful, half-open ending. I'm just not sure a sequel would benefit Constantine.

A cold-blooded Keanu Reeves as a savior perhaps even surpassing Neo with his charisma, a hero who is not ashamed to put out his last cigarette in his own blood, a tough guy whose every gesture sends all demons, including Satan, somewhere nice and fast. And all the infernal supernaturalism in the inquisitive spirit of an authentic detective story, like no one has ever attempted before in the comic book genre.
