Constantine
Constantine ( KON-stən-TEEN) is a 2005 American superhero horror film directed by Francis Lawrence in his directorial debut. Written by Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello from a story by Brodbin, it is loosely based on the DC Comics/Vertigo Comics Hellblazer graphic novels. The film stars Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, a cynical exorcist with the ability to perceive and communicate with half-angels and half-demons in their true forms and to travel between Earth and Hell. Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Djimon Hounsou, Gavin Rossdale, and Peter Stormare also feature. Constantine was released theatrically in the United States on February 18, 2005, and grossed $230.9 million worldwide against a production budget between $70–100 million. While it received mixed reviews from film critics, it has since garnered a cult following in the years following its release. In 2022, a sequel was announced and is currently in development.
- What are you doing? - I'm reading you your last rites. Spare me your remedial incantations. You do know what it is to truly be forgiven? To be welcomed into the Kingdom of God. Demon in heaven. I'd love to be a fly on that wall. You're not a priest. You have no power. Just tell me how Mammon is crossing over and you can go back to your shithole. Okay, Bally, enjoy it. "May God have mercy on you and grant you the pardon of all your sins. Whose soever sins you remit on Earth, they are remitted unto them in heaven." - How? How's he doing it? - No. No, I can't. Grant your child entry into thy kingdom, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
