Keanu Reeves stars as a character named John Constantine in this rather strange movie about the supernatural based on the "Hellblazer" graphic novels.

Now he tracks down Satan's minions on Earth and sends them back to the everlasting fire, hoping he can find a way to eternal salvation. The film is remarkable for its visuals.
