Constantine Movie Details:

Constantine Movie Cast & Characters:

• Keanu Reeves as John Constantine: A chain-smoking cynic with the ability to perceive the true visage of half-angels and half-demons on the human plane. John is damned to Hell for attempting suicide — a mortal sin — and has terminal lung cancer.
  • Connor Dylan Wryn as young John Constantine
  • Quinn Buniel as child John Constantine
• Rachel Weisz as Angela Dodson: A troubled LAPD detective investigating the suicide of her twin sister Isabel (also portrayed by Weisz).
  • Weisz also portrays Mammon, the son of Lucifer who has no patience for his father’s rule of Hell and uses Angela’s body as a means of escaping to rule over Earth.
• Shia LaBeouf as Chas Kramer: Constantine’s driver and apprentice. Chas has a strong interest in the occult and helps Constantine whenever possible in order to gain knowledge and experience from him.
• Tilda Swinton as Gabriel: A “half-breed” Archangel with a disdain for humanity who plots to free Mammon as a means to unleash Hell on the Earth.
• Pruitt Taylor Vince as Father Hennessy: An insomniac, alcoholic priest with the ability to communicate with the dead. He wears a protective charm in order to “keep the voices out”.
• Djimon Hounsou as Papa Midnite: A former witch-doctor who once fought against Hell. After swearing an oath of neutrality — unless one side should tip the balance of power — he opened a nightclub to serve as neutral meeting ground for both sides of the war between Heaven and Hell.
• Gavin Rossdale as Balthazar: A “half-breed” demon, and son of Lucifer. He has a special interest in, and personal history with, Constantine.
• Peter Stormare as Lucifer: A fallen Archangel who is in a proxy war with God for the souls of all mankind, and ruler of Hell. He is feared on Earth as Satan or The Devil. Lucifer loathes Constantine with such vigor that Constantine’s soul is the only one he would ever come to personally collect, due to Constantine’s many fights against demons.
• Max Baker as Beeman: A friend of Constantine’s with extensive knowledge of exotic occult materials and insects. He supplies Constantine with both holy objects and information.
• Francis Guinan as Father Garret: A priest Angela talks to about getting Isabel a Catholic burial.
• José Zúñiga as Det. Weiss: Angela’s partner.
• Jesse Ramirez as Manuel: A scavenger and treasure hunter who finds the Spear of Destiny in the ruins of a church in Mexico that grants various powers and places him in a trance-like state in which he travels to Los Angeles.
• April Grace as Dr. Archer: Constantine’s doctor.
• Tanoai Reed as the bouncer at Midnite’s club.

Storyline:

John Constantine is approached by Det. Angela Dodson who needs his help to prove that her twin sister Isabel’s death was not a suicide. The dead woman was a devout Catholic and Angela refuses to accept she would have taken her own life. She’s asked Constantine for help because he has a reputation for dealing with the mystical. In fact, he is a demon hunter whose sole purpose on Earth is to send demons back to the nether regions. John himself has been to Hell and knows that he is destined to return there on his death – but hopes his good deeds may find him a place in Heaven. As he looks into Isabel’s death, he realizes demons are trying to break through to the human world, and his battles lead him into a direct conflict with Satan.
