Constantine: Los Angeles
built 645 days ago
There is a scene early in the movie where Constantine and his doctor look at his X-rays, never a good sign in a superhero movie. He has lung cancer. The angel Gabriel (Tilda Swinton) tells him, "You are going to die young because you've smoked 30 cigarettes a day since you were 13." Gabriel has made more interesting announcements. Constantine has already spent some time in hell, which looks like a post-nuclear Los Angeles created by animators with a hangover. No doubt it is filled with carcinogens.
No longer having Maximin to contend with, Licinius challenged Constantine, and a brief struggle followed. Constantine, victorious, took (315) control over Greece and the Balkans, and the uneasy peace that followed lasted until 324, when Licinius again vied with Constantine. This time Licinius lost his throne and ultimately his life.

Reeves stands tall as Constantine, a loud-mouthed detective of sorts who spends his time beating back demons into hell when he’s not dragging on another cigarette. His chain-smoking has caused a demoralizing destruction of his lungs that constantly reminds him of his impending death, and after attempting suicide as a young kid, Constantine is damned to spend his afterlife in hell. To right the wrongs of his past mistakes and buy his way into heaven, Constantine has taken it upon himself to fight on the “good” side against the demons that have broken the balance and begun to make their way on to Earth’s plains. Teaming up with police detective Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz) to investigate the supposed suicide of her twin sister Isabelle, Constantine travels through the hidden world of angels and demons to uncover a secret plan that Lucifer himself doesn’t even know about.
