Re: 'Constantine' Movie Trailer
Constantine : Deluxe Edition (DVD)
Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Gavin Rossdale, Djimon Hounsou
The battle between Heaven and Hell has been chronicled numerous times
on film. From the “Omen” and “Exorcist” to the recent “Hellboy”
and “End of Days”, Hollywood has always had a bit of an underlying love
affair with a solid good vs. evil bout.
The latest entry into the genre is “Constantine”, based on the comic
"Hellblazer", and the good news is, for fans of the print effort, is
that the film's as loyal as a pooch.
For those who've never got ink on their fingers, it's the tale
of a supernatural
detective named John Constantine (Keanu Reeves), a chap who is tasked
to walk the line between good and evil to make sure that balance is
maintained. Constantine is quite a troubled individual and his transactions
with angels and demons have warped his views on life, humanity, and the afterlife.
Due to things in his past, Constantine is trying to right his wrongs so he
can gain a place in heaven but unfortunately those in Hell aren't making
it easy for him.
In addition, the rules between Heaven and Hell seem to be blurring as
there is a growing demon presence on Earth which does not bode well
for the future of humanity.
When a local detective named Angela (Rachael Weisz), contacts
Constantine, she is desperate to learn the truth behind her twin sister’s
apparent suicide. Although skeptical to help in her plight at first, Constantine
soon learns that he and Angela are a good fit, if only because they're
both players in the same game.
Reeves gives a credible performance as the iconic comic-book character
, and whilst Weisz doesn't get nearly enough screen-time, she proves
herself a worthwhile screen companion. Singer Gavin Rossdale also
gets to shine, in the role of smarmy demon Balthazar.
"Constantine" not only unleashes Reeves range, but a fantastically
freaky new vision on moviefans. Here's to a franchise.
Extras on the bumper-to-bumper 2-Disc edition
(considering the pedigree,
it's no surprise that it's jam-packed with bonuses) include numerous
featurettes, an informative audio commentary with key crew, music video
and deleted scenes. Nice bang for ya' buck.
