Verdict: Though the story is potentially fascinating and the visuals sometimes spellbinding, the movie itself is stranded in the purgatory of the second-rate. Admittedly, 'Constantine' is not a timid film, yet it's not an entirely successful one, either! A heady mix of pulpy dialogue, eerie atmosphere, biblical mythology, the film ends up a virtual mess and sorely lacks the courage of its pulpy convictions.
