 Born with a
gift he didn't want, the ability to recognize the half-breed
angels and demons that walk the earth in human camouflage, Constantine
(KEANU REEVES) 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 waging war
on the earthbound minions of evil.
But Constantine is no saint. Increasingly disillusioned by
the world around him and at odds with the one beyond, he's a
hard-drinking, hard-living bitter hero who scorns the very idea
of heroism. Constantine will fight to save your soul but he doesn't
want your admiration or your thanks - and certainly not your
sympathy.
All he wants is a way out.
When a desperate but skeptical police detective (RACHEL WEISZ
as Angela Dodson) enlists his help in solving the mysterious
death of her beloved twin sister, their investigation takes them
through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath
the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught in a catastrophic
series of otherworldy events, the two become inextricably involved
and seek to find their own peace at whatever cost.
Constantine is based on characters from the DC Comics/Vertigo
Hellblazer Graphic Novels.
