Constantine 2 (2025)
Constantine 2 (2025) summons Keanu Reeves back as John Constantine, a chain-smoking exorcist staring down hell’s latest uprising. Older and rougher around the edges, he’s pulled from the shadows when a wave of possessions hints at a demonic jailbreak tied to his own damned soul. With Francis Lawrence steering, it’s a raw, R-rated dive into occult grit.
The dynamic sparks with Constantine’s cynical edge—Reeves’ low growl carries a lifetime of scars—facing off against a hellspawned nemesis cloaked in sulfurous dread. New allies and old ghosts swirl in the mix, fueling a slow-burn clash of wits and willpower. The action sears—dark rituals twist into frenzied brawls, lit by hellfire and desperation.
Visually, it’s a gothic gut-punch—dingy alleys and infernal rifts shimmer with a bleak, smoky haze, shot with a prowling, moody lens. The CGI conjures demons with jagged flair, paired with a score of tolling bells and grinding distortion. It’s a hellscape that grabs you by the throat.
Constantine 2 (2025) is a lean, mean return to the trench coat, blending Reeves’ quiet storm with unholy terror. It’s a devil’s bargain worth taking.
Rating: 9/10
