Based on the DC-Vertigo comic Hellblazer, director Francis Lawrence‘s Constantine, an effective, f/x-heavy horror-action hybrid, stars Keanu Reeves as renegade occultist John Constantine.
Born with a gift he didn’t want, the ability to clearly recognize the half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human skin, Constantine was driven to take his own life to escape the tormenting clarity of his vision.
But he failed. Resuscitated against his will, he found himself cast back into the land of the living. Now, marked as an attempted suicide with a temporary lease on life, he patrols the earthly border between heaven and hell, hoping in vain to earn his way to salvation by sending the devil’s foot soldiers back to the depths…
Hollywood.com caught up with Constantine star Keanu Reeves, who has undoubtedly landed one of his best roles since the orignal Matrix film. Keanu revealed he is no stranger to the supernatural and once experienced his own near-death experience.
