Before fans of the source material throw cries of heresy in this general direction, as an adaptation of the Hellblazer comic series; Constantine sucks. As a solidly enjoyable slice of $100m Hollywood entertainment however, it is a sorely underappreciated and strangely unique genre effort.

Francis Lawrence's debut feature is a mishmash of comic book movie, supernatural horror, detective noir and blockbuster actioner, and manages to balance these multiple genres together in a surprisingly effective manner.

Keanu Reeves is at his laid-back and sardonic best, ably supported by the always-reliable Rachel Weisz and Tilda Swinton.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
