Constantine 2 (2025) brings back Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, a stoned smoking exorcist who faces Hell’s Last Rebellion. Aged and rougher, he emerges from the shadows when a surge of possessions hints at a demonic escape tied to his own condemned soul. With Francis Lawrence at the helm, it’s a raw, R-rated, dive into the occult.
Dynamics sizzles with Constantine’s cynical touch—Reeves’ low growl bears a lifetime of scars—facing an infernal nemesis wrapped in sulfur terror.
New allies and old ghosts swirl into the mix, fueling a slow clash of wit and willpower. The action is scorching: dark rituals turn into frantic fights, ignited by hellfire and despair. Visually, it’s a gothic visceral blow: gloomy alleys and infernal crevices glow with a dark, smoky haze, filmed with a haunting, melancholic lens. The CGI evokes demons with a dense style, accompanied by twenty clanging bells and a blistering distortion. It’s a hellish landscape that grabs you by the neck.
Constantine 2 (2025) is a return to the trench coat, concise and cruel, combining Reeves’ silent storm with ungodly terror. It’s a pact with the devil worth accepting.
