"Constatntine: City of Demons"

Hello movie lovers. I would first like to apologize for the lack of post. With the holidays in full swing and working a seasonal job at Vermont's own Vermont Teddy Bear Factory, it can make it a challenge to find the time and energy to sit down and give my honest input on a film. Yet my love of movies, especially the overlooked ones will not keep me away forever. So without further to do, I've got one for you DC comic lovers out there featuring one of the darker heroes, Constantine.

In this story, we dive into Constantine's (Matt Ryan) past when an old friend named Chas Chandler (Damian O'Hare) who he hasn't seen in nearly ten years following an ill fated incident that would change him to the man he would become. Desperate for Constantine's help, Chas explains that his daughter Trish is in a coma and nothing the doctors have done has helped and feels that there is something evil at work. Confirming Chas's worst fears Constantine must go on a journey to rescue Trish's soul from a demon known as Beroul (Jim Meskimen). It will take all the magical knowledge Constantine has along with help from Asa the Healer (Laura Bailey) and from other powerful beings such as the Queen of Angels and an Aztec God Mictlantecuhtli (Rick D. Wasserman) and he will find that Los Angeles is more hellish than he ever imagined.

Disturbing, yet draws you into this original piece. Unlike the caped crusaders that we're familiar with and stand for doing the right thing, Constantine lives on the edge of darkness using it to the advantage of good making him an unlikely hero and the last person you would expect to save the day. While this is not for the faint of heart with its gore and devilish and twisted characters that Constantine encounters, it is one not to miss for those who love the Anti-Hero and much like this broken hero, he doesn't come away unscathed here, but comes close with four and a half G.M.Stars.
