What is Constantine about?
A man struggling with his faith is haunted by the sins of his past but is suddenly thrust into the role of defending humanity from the gathering forces of darkness.
A cynical man battles dark forces while his past sins and wavering faith haunt every suspenseful, atmospheric step.
Pulpy. A late-night trip at a brisk pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
