熬夜和老公看了這部片, 還好沒讓我失望. 原本就蠻喜歡 Keanu Reeves.
大概看得太用心了, 加上精彩的特效, 害我一晚睡不著覺…

選了Amazon的影評做為參考:

Review From Amazon.com by Jeff Shannon

In the grand scheme of theological thrillers, Constantine aspires for the greatness of The Exorcist but ranks more closely with The Order. Based on the popular Hellblazer comic book series, and directed with nary a shred of intelligence by music video veteran Francis Lawrence, it’s basically The Matrix with swarming demons instead of swarming machines. Keanu Reeves slightly modifies his Matrix persona as John Constantine, who roams the dark-spots of Los Angeles looking for good-evil, angel-devil half-breeds to ensure that ”the balance” between God and Satan is properly maintained. An ancient artifact and the detective twin of a woman who committed evil-induced suicide (Rachel Weisz) factor into the plot, which is taken so seriously that you’ll want to stand up and cheer when Tilda Swinton swoops down as the cross-dressing angel Gabriel and turns this silliness into the camp-fest it really is. The digital effects are way cool (dig those hellspawn with the tops of their heads lopped off!), so if you don’t mind a juvenile lesson in pseudo-Catholic salvation, Constantine is just the movie for you!
