Peter Stormare as Lucifer is one hell of a casting since for me he embodies the disobedient fallen angel and love he was in White not Black!

You missed the after-credits scene where you see Chaz become an angel. :(

In an interview a few years ago they asked Keanu Reeves what his favorite movie role was and he said "Constantine".

Peter Stormare’s Lucifer is phenomenal and one of the first characters I think of when I hear the phrase “One Scene Wonder”. I’m also glad they went with Stormare’s idea for the costume instead of making Lucifer look like an extra from a Mad Max movie

I don’t care what anyone says about it or how it’s not comic accurate, I absolutely adore this movie and I’m glad the sequel is in the works. Recommend checking out The Devil’s Advocate (1997) starring Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves

“Oh my gosh my heart is actually beating!” I’m no cardiologist but I think it’s supposed to do that.

Best moment was Constantine flinching in horror from Lu. Of all the horror, gore, misery, and destruction John sees (and is unphased by), he knows exactly what's under that white suit.

One of Keanu's best. Hopefully we'll finally get a sequel soon!

The "no suicides" thing with the sister is a pretty strict rule. There were even special dispensations for 9/11 jumpers - they were declared to have been forced out of the towers and to have chosen 10 seconds more life, so they were not classed as suicides, and could therefore be buried properly. The Church makes its share of mistakes, but it got that one right.

If you watch for the after credit you would have seen Chaz become an Angel.

John flipping the devil is such a flex 🫡

My goodness, I love this movie. I remember borrowing the DVD from Netflix in the mail and I probably watched it half-a-dozen times in a week. There's just something about this movie that feels so gritty/dirty and sprinkles in the supernatural without overdoing it. I think it does a great job keeping the movie grounded as much as possible with the higher elements it contains. And Stormare in the white suit is just perfect. He really did do such a good job being flat out...creepy. The parts where he sticks his tongue out or wouldn't light the cigarette stand out. He's a creepy tease one moment, but the next he's busting down doors and knocking down angels. I cannot wait for the sequel to this gem.

"By the way, you have to ask for absolution." Is the coldest line in the whole movie

Keanu and Rachel do have great chemistry. They worked together in Chain Reaction from 1996, and it's worth a watch. Peter Stormaire and Tilda Swinton knocked their roles out of the park as well.

There’s another version of John Constantine played by Matt Ryan. He had his own show witch got canceled after one season. The character later reapeard in one episode of the show Arrow and later in one episode of Legends Of Tomorrow. In season 4 of Legends he became a series regular untill season 6. Then he was never seen in The Arrowverse again.

The bathtub scene was a bit of a surprise for Rachel. While she was underwater, the Director said to Keanu - hold her there no matter what. So her freak out reaction was not exactly acting. Keanu said he felt like shit after.

I liked this movie even though it's not really faithful to source material, it's got a great cast and a pretty creative story. But the character of John Constantine in his original incarnation as the cynical Hard-boiled Scouse magician/con man is a unique thing in Comics. It's a shame that the Matt Ryan series didn't succeed on it's own terms. But at least the Keanu film brought more awareness to the character. Still holding out hope for Guillermo Del Toro's Justice League Dark! The comic book storylines written by Delano, Ennis, Mike Carey, and the character's appearances in the Sandman stories are really defining. Matt Ryan has also been doing a great job voicing John Constantine in the appearances in the DC Animated Universe (Justice League Dark/Apokolips)

This movie got a ton of flak from the comic book community back when it came out because it diverged from the comic so much, but as a fan of the comics I didn't mind considering there's always changes made when adapting comics for the screen. Taken on its own merits this movie is excellent, and there's rumors of a sequel in pre-production as we speak.

For early Keane Reeves there is Dangerous Liasons, a movie that went huge despite being an historical film, starring John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeifer and young Uma Thurman. It’s a really fun tragedy, and won Glenn Close an Oscar. Then for a Fantasy movie that went unusually huge, there is Ladyhawke starring Michelle Pfeifer, Rutger Hauer and a young Matthew Broderick.

There is a post credit scene with Chas, he became an angle after his death

"Yes Chaz! Flex!" If he had survived, they coulda called him 'the flexorcist' I'll see myself out 😅

Constantine is one of the most underrated comic book movies of all time and just one of my personal favorites in general. Also I can’t wait for the sequel I been wanting it for so many years.

The strage loop hole for john was the suicide, no matter how much absolution you ask for suicide is unforgiveable, like the loopholes in the movie dogma constintine is a dc comic and he has worked with the justice league a lot, it had an amazing tv series that was very short only 1 and half seasons it had a lot of the back story i highly reccimend it

"Johnny Mnemonic" (1995) is another Keanu Reeves underrated gem. It's a Cyberpunk movie based on a novel by William Gibson. Another good raction Mary, really enjoy your work 😎

Rachel Weisz really is talented, she's so good in this. She and Keanu are also in a VERY 90's cheesy scifi thriller called Chain Reaction. It's not worth a channel reaction, but it's a fun watch for your own amusement. Also watch The Mummy with Rachel and Brendan Fraser if you haven't already, that's genuinely good.

One of my favorite movies of all time! Always loved the dark overall vibe, how different the demons looked, how Gabriel turned out to be a betrayer and how Lucifer reacted, etc. All very unique! I personally think the pacing was okay since you find / see clues as John does. I wished they spent more time on some of the side characters actually like Chas and Midnite.

Almost always, when Keanu is asked about his favorite role, he says Constantine

If Constantine is a holy John Wick, then John Wick is actually from an alternate time line where Ted Theadore Logan failed his history final and got sent to Military school.

One of my absolute favorite movies. So many good things about it. Pretty much everyone nails their roles. Lu is great. One of my favorite portrayals of the devil, as strange as that is to say, haha.

This film is a guilty pleasure for me, Keanu and Rachel are great, and Peter Stormare always command's attention even with the smallest roles. Great reaction Mary 👍

love the chemistry between Keanu and Rachel as actors they are great together in another film called Chain Reaction

Fun fact: in the bathtub scene the director told Keanu to hold down;Rachel under water and didn't tell her about it to get the real fear in her eyes.

One of my fav Keanu movies and doesnt get mentioned enough

You are hitting my favourites one after another lately and I love it.

When she was saying" I knew it wasn't, luck, I could see them, I've always known" was referrencing how often she as a cop had to draw her gun that she mentioned near the start, even without realizing it she was being drawn to the half demons causing trouble

"he who controls the spice controls the universe" -Gordon Ramsey

The great thing about this movie is that it's not very faithful to the comics, but it still found its own place, and many Constantine fans still enjoy this movie despite its differences. There was also a (tragically) short-lived Constantine series that I recommend. It's more faithful to the source material, and importantly, it's also still very good.

Keanu Reeves is a badass when it comes to him playing Constantine who is a demon hunter he kills or sends demons back to hell. This was my first movie I saw with Keanu Reeves and I love it.

Glad you got around to this film Mary. SO under appreciated. Lola should have been a stunt double for this one.

The director, Francis Lawrence used to a lot music vids for big artists. He did Hunger Games amongst he many directorial credits. In the comics, John Constantine is English, a Liverpudlian. I would say if you want want to learn more about the character watch the TV series series they did in 2014(which lasted just 1 season), or the episodes DC's Legends of Tomorrow of which he becomes a big part of. As well as featuring in episodes of Arrow and The Flash.

My favourite Swedish Hollywood Russian, Peter Stormare, as Lucifer is brilliant. Love this movie.

Keanu has said that the one character he’d REALLY like to revisit is John Constantine. Loved the Devil in this. Really enjoyed Tilda Swinton (I always do). I even liked Shia Lebuf whom I usually hate.

I can't get over when he just punches the absolute shit out of a little girl, regardless of the fact that she's possessed by a demon.

Keanu did an awesome job here. This role kind of gets forgotten due to being in between Matrix and John Wick, but it is a good movie.

This was the director's, Francis Lawrence, debut feature film to direct and I think he did a HELL of a job (pardon the pun) for a first film. Also, CONSTANTINE 2 IS IN THE WORKS! Keanu has been trying for YEARS to get a sequel and it looks like it's finally happening! The only 2 cast for it thus far on IMDB is Keanu and Peter Stormare (Satan) so it's already got me hyped. Stormare did such a delightful job as Satan, prob my all time fav portrayal of "Lu". Thanks for the vid, Mary! Always enjoyable. :)

This and Blade are my personal favourites. Don't know how many times I've watched them, but many times for sure. Heard they are making Constantine 2, hype!!

Keanu really love this role and he wanted a sequel so bad. I too want one like its so good man. Definitely one of my favorite supernatural film

I love the "Isabelle" whisper. It reminds me of River Tam whispering "Miranda".

Well, would also suggest watching Constantine TV Show (2014) with Matt Ryan, only one season, but pretty decent one from what i can remember. A shame they never continued that TV Show and only gave him a few cameos through Legends of Tomorrow, on the other hand, looking at the weak directing/writing in LoT, may be it's better that way...

Pro tip for all movie watchers, always, always, in every movie you should look for scenes after the credits, because it may turn out that there are some

In the extendend verson a mid credit scene john goes to chaz grave and he appears as an angel and flys to heaven, this could mean 2 things chaz died a nobel hero or he was always johns guardian angel

This is one of the best underrated movies of all time! for yourself, watch this at least 3 more times Mary....the more you watch the more you appreciate it...

13:40 the cat is supposedly a guardian of the underworld, they share the same realms, it can act as conduit for someone like Constantine to gain access to hell while its still alive of course, summoning someone from hell is a bit different and messy. The water however is so he didn't burst into flames

I watched this in the theaters with my mom! The only movie I ever watched with her in the theater! I’m in my 40s.

Very happy to see you reacting to one of my favorite movies. They 'slow' pace of the movie does not bother me, as I was born in 1960 and all movies were paced like that when I was growing up.

“‘Cause he’s a demon, Mary.” 😂

There's a short after-credits scene you should go back and watch. It's not much, but offers some additional resolution and feels like a nice end cap for this adventure.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. The casting is top-tier across the board. I'm glad to hear you're a supernatural fan! When I think of great performances (for lucifer) I think of Peter Stormare and Mark Pellegrino. Keanu Reeves really wants to do Constantine 2, and I heard it was finally greenlit before the strike. Obviously that's in limbo, but we'll see!

Constantine is a straight G. I also adore this movie.

The actress playing Gabriel, Tilda Swinton, was in a really cool music video called "The Box" by Orbital. You may know her from Doctor Strange.

The hellblazer comics are my favourite comics of all time. And I love this movie. I don’t care what any other reader says. Some people need to get over themselves and get artistic license into their heads. I also loved the Constantine tv show. It was really good. I can’t believe it only had one season.

33:36 That cut inn was pure genius.

In the comics (the DC universe) Constantine is British and has blonde hair. He's also a bit more likely to cast magic spells. I like this movie a lot, but I would also like to see a more comic faithful movie too.

This film is a Horror/Mystery. John has no idea what's going on. It takes him and Angela the whole film to understand. I love it!

A post credit scene shows Chas return as an Angel.

The red car at the beginning was the spirit of Mammon possessing the man, on the physical plane.

DCs Legends of Tomorrow (streamable on netflix) features John Constantine starting at the end of season 2, and continuing for several seasons afterwards. And of course, Constantine 2 (starring Keanu again) is in production now. This is one of my 3 favorite graphic novels movie adaptations along with V for Vendetta and Sin City.

Great reaction Mary! I haven't seen this for a long time.and I liked it then but it's even better now! Lu- is Lucifer the angel of light hence the white suit. Great choice for a pre-scary cherry movie watch! Luv ya Mary Cherry 🍒❤💛

"oh my gosh my heart is actually beating" ...well yes, I sure hope so!! 🤣

Tilda Swinton was inspired casting for Gabriel, absolutely crushed the role, love an androgynous icon

Time works different on other planes of existence. That's why her trip to Hell was instantaneous to Constantine.

I saw this when it came out. I did like it. It did end as if they expected sequels but I guess it fell short of expectations. Box Office worldwide was $230 million in 2005. Adjusted for inflation that’s over $460 million in 2023. That sounds like a hit to me. There should’ve been a sequel.

Don't forget the end credits scene, it's a good setuo for a potential sequel.

fun fact: This is the only Role he's begged producers to make a sequel for

best cinematic representation of the devil ive ever seen.

To answer your question about the cat. In many cultures cats are seen as creatures that can walk between realms and are guardians of the underworld. The water itself also, in many cultures is seen as a form of doorway, a transition point. The cat and the water combined allowed for a quick transition.

Omg the title brought me here. Lol I got Constantine confused with John Wick. Ot just hit me in the feels seeing that I'm not the only one.

One of my favorite lines from this movie ‐"God's got a plan for everyone" -"God's a kid with an ant farm lady, he's not planning anything" lol

I have to say…you’re editing is on point for this video. 😊😂

"My heart is actually beating". Well that's a good thing, otherwise you'd be dead! lol

"John Wick" is just "Constantine" trying to quit smoking. Anyhow: "Cats are good."

Apparently, Constantine 2 is in production and has survived the pruning from WB! Keanu Reeves and Peter Stormare are set to reprise their roles as Constantine and Lucifer, respectively.

In case you didn’t know, the spear of destiny was the sphere that was used by the Roman soldier to pierce the side of Jesus Christ when he was crucified on the cross

That's Gavin rossdale from the band Bush

Loved this movie so much as a kid, glad to see ya react to it!

Keanu said that he would love to do another Constantine and we been all waiting for it and he died in John Wick so he is free to do now ... maybe we will get lucky the casting was crazy so there is only a very smidge of a chance

Cats are half in half out. I concur.

Keanu is the coolest ever in this movie - loved his simple dress and his attitude, simply COOL 😎

The Deadpool pop-up was perfect 😂❤

25:50 blessing the fire sprinkler and sending them all to Hell with the water was classic John Constantine.

The first of 6 films to be based on DC's Vertigo imprint, released months before Batman Begins and the directorial film debut of Francis Lawrence (Hunger Games, Iam Legend). John Constantine is among the most beloved anti-heroes of the supernatural realm. Originally a British character based on legendary artist, STING. His earlier comic series was called "HELLBLAZER" and the movie's plot is from the 'Dangerous Habits' storyline. Constantine has interacted with other DC characters. But his love/hate relationship with Lucifer Morningstar is just as constant in the bigger scheme of things. Keanu Reeves got the role when originally It would've been Nicolas Cage, who went on to be another supernatural hero, Marvel's Ghost Rider, who Keanu Reeves had actually wanted to play since childhood. British actor Matt Ryan portrayed Constantine (2014-2021) between live-action television and animated films. Keanu Reeves will return in another movie as Constantine with director Lawrence and is also rumored to be part of the long-awaited Justice League Dark film.

Thx for reviewing this movie. One of my favourites and I love your reactions.

"Woah. What happened to this guy?" He looked. John told him not to.

Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz also worked together in "Chain Reaction," along with Morgan Freeman.

tilda swinton was sooooooooo perfect for this role. her ethereal qualities transfer over like she was made for it.

There's actually a T.V. series of Constantine as well, back when they brought other DC characters to T.V. like Arrow, The Flash and such. The series has its ups and downs, but the John Constantine from that series and the other characters like Chaz did such a terrific job that I actually prefer the series to this movie.

One of my favorites. And yes... you are definitely an angel.

This is a movie I watched one of the very first times I got stoned, and I remember being absolutely captivated by it.

At the beginning, Gabriel has a point (and this was kinda the point a priest made many years ago, in my village's church).. Something along: "If one does a good deed because one wants to go to heaven.. It is not a good deed. That's a means to an end. A good deed comes with no second intentions".
