John Constantine has been to hell and back. 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 (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 sending the devil's foot soldiers back to the
depths. But Constantine is no saint. 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 reprieve. When a
desperate but skeptical police detective (RACHEL WEISZ)
enlists his help in solving the mysterious death of her
beloved twin sister (also played by Weisz), their
investigation takes them through the world of demons and
angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary
LA. Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldly events,
the two become inextricably involved and seek to find their
own peace at whatever cost.
