The film titled Constantine is fascinating and somewhat an unsettling work of horror, which is helped as always by Keanu Reeve's extraordinary acting abilities. This movie uses spiritually dark shock methods to give viewers a taste of both heaven and hell and also the in-between. I adore how the movie's visual and aural elements work together to create a sense of horror that sends chills down the spine. All things considered, the CG effects are adequate, which is to be anticipated given the year of the film's release. The character development is moderate and definitely had much more potential. The cast is impressive nonetheless and has done a decent job. The storyline is intriguing and captivating, making you want to watch the film without any disturbances until the very end. The film has several other impressive elements that add to its charm and overall, this movie is entertaining and should be watched.

The character of John Constantine was originally created by Alan Moore, during his run on DC Comics' "Swamp Thing". However, following his negative experience with From Hell (2001) and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003), Moore decided to reject all money and credit from Hollywood on any adaptations of his work. Thus, he gave all the money he would've gotten to the artist who drew the character with him, and rejected his own "created by" credit from the film.
The look of Hell was based on old footage of nuclear tests, specifically the sudden shockwave immediately after the blast that disintegrated anything in its path, hence the crumbling landscape.
The "Spear of Destiny" prop is the same one as used in Hellboy (2004).
Keanu Reeves bought the Holy Shotgun prop, and gave it to director Francis Lawrence as a gift.
(at around 40 mins) According to the director's commentary on the DVD, the rag that Constantine lights on fire to defeat the flying demons is a piece of Moses' shroud, given to him by Beeman.
"John Constantine: Detective. What if I told you that God and the devil made a wager, a kind of standing bet for the souls of all mankind? Angela Dodson: I'd tell you to stay on your meds. John Constantine: Humor me. No direct contact with humans. That would be the rule. Just influence. See who would win. Angela Dodson: Okay, I'm humoring you. Why? John Constantine: Who knows. Maybe just for the fun of it. No telling. Angela Dodson: Oh, so it's fun? It's fun when a man beats his wife to death? It's fun when a mother drowns her own baby? And you think the devil is responsible? People are evil, Mr. Constantine. People. John Constantine: You're right. We're born capable of terrible things, but then sometimes something else comes along and gives us just the right nudge. Angela Dodson: Well, this has been real educational, but... I don't believe in the devil. John Constantine: You should. He believes in you."
"Angela Dodson: [after taking off her jacket] So, do I have to take the rest of my clothes off or can I leave them on? [pause] Angela Dodson: John? John Constantine: I'm thinking..."
