CONSTANTINE

What You Need To Know:

CONSTANTINE is a gruesome, disgusting movie that radically revises Christian theology. Keanu Reeves plays John Constantine, a man who has supernatural abilities to detect and communicate with demons and angels. After sending some particularly vicious demons back to hell, he realizes that Satan is trying to come to earth and take over. Constantine crosses paths with Angela, who also possesses abilities to communicate with the spirits and who Satan might be using in his plan. John fights demons and even goes to hell and back to halt Satan’s progress.

The biggest problem with CONSTANTINE is that it casts God and Satan as two equal forces that both aim to destroy earth. John Constantine is ambivalent about which one wins, because in this movie’s version of earth, there is no difference between good and evil. Biblical truth is constantly perverted, and at one point there is a satanic parody of the virgin birth. This despicable movie depicts the gruesomeness of hell but fails to take its danger seriously, just as it fails to recognize the saving power of the Almighty God’s love. In addition, there is extreme gory violence to make the movie more revolting.
