In a shadowy asylum, a man casually endures electroshock therapy, as if it were a boring pastime. His blonde hair is disheveled, stubble covers his face, and even in a hospital gown, he can't hide his mischievous and cynical air. This is John Constantine, a demon hunter who walks the edge of the world, with one foot already in Hell. He's not the caped crusader, a hero brimming with righteousness, but a hustler of the supernatural world, a manipulator who wears a cheap trench coat and speaks with a foul tongue, relying on cons and a little black magic. Constantine carries an unforgivable curse: due to a failed exorcism, he not only lost a little girl's soul, but also sentenced himself to death, destined to fall into Hell after his demise. Just as he is about to give up on the world, an ancient evil force called "Rising Darkness" begins to spread among humans. In order to escape the torment of the devil after his death, he has to pick up that blood-stained lighter again, and with his reluctant allies, find a glimmer of hope in the storm that is about to sweep across the three realms.

If the Keanu Reeves version of Constantine is a melancholic saint, then Matt Ryan's portrayal is the bastard who walked directly out of the pages of the DC comic "Hellblazer". His sarcastic wit with a Liverpool accent, and his arrogance in the face of demons, as in "I can't beat you, but I can make you mad", has simply brought the character to life. The most fascinating thing about this work is its gloomy and moist film noir texture. Magic here isn't a dazzling clash of special effects, but ancient, forbidden spells, bloody rituals, and despicable psychological battles. What is most irresistible is the multi-faceted nature of the character, Constantine. He is an extreme realist who can treat his allies as chess pieces without changing his expression, yet he can't sleep at night, haunted by the shadows of those who have died because of him. This ambiguity between a savior and a con artist makes every exorcism battle full of unpredictable variables. Although this series has become a "regret" in many fans' hearts for various reasons, the dark world it presents, full of urban legends, demon contracts, and the games of angels, is still a difficult benchmark to surpass in the same genre. 【电影介绍】 在一个阴暗的精神疗养院里,一个男人正若无其事地接受着电击治疗,仿佛那只是某种无聊的消遣。他金发凌乱,胡渣唏嘘,即便穿着病号服也掩盖不住那一身混不吝的痞气。这就是约翰·康斯坦丁,一个行走在阴阳边界、半只脚已经踏进地狱的驱魔神棍。他不是那种披着斗篷、正义感爆棚的超级英雄,而是一个穿着廉价风衣、满嘴脏话、靠着坑蒙拐骗和一点点黑魔法在超自然世界里摸爬滚打的投机分子。 康斯坦丁身上背负着一个无法原谅的诅咒:由于多年前一次失败的驱魔仪式,他不仅弄丢了一个小女孩的灵魂,还让自己被判了死刑,死后注定要坠入地狱受尽折磨。就在他打算自暴自弃、在疯人院度过余生时,一股名为崛起之暗的古老邪恶力量开始在人间蔓延,曾经被封印的恶魔纷纷破土而出。为了能在死后与上帝讨价还价,他不得不重新捡起那枚染血的打火机,带着他不情不愿的盟友们,在这场即将席卷三界的风暴中寻找一线生机。 他是一个孤独的骗术大师,也是一个玩弄人心的心理学家。他身边的盟友换了一拨又一拨,却大多落得惨死的下场,这让他身后永远跟随着一串因他而死的亡魂。然而,当那些穿着紧身衣的英雄们对超自然威胁束手无策时,只有这个被天堂和地狱同时厌恶的男人,能用最卑劣的手段解决最圣洁的危机。 【观影点评】 如果说基努·里维斯版的康斯坦丁是一位忧郁的都市圣徒,那么马特·瑞安塑造的这一版则是直接从DC漫画地狱神探里走出来的混蛋本尊。他那种带有地道口音的毒舌,以及面对恶魔时那副我虽然打不过你但我能气死你的嚣张劲儿,简直把这个角色的神韵演活了。这部作品最迷人的地方在于它那种阴郁而潮湿的黑色电影质感,魔法在这里不是绚丽的特效对轰,而是充满禁忌感的古老咒语、血腥的仪式和卑鄙的心理博弈。 最让人欲罢不能的是康斯坦丁这个人物的多面性。他是一个极端的现实主义者,可以面不改色地把朋友当成棋子丢进陷阱,却又在深夜被那些亡灵纠缠得无法入眠。这种游走在救世主与骗子之间的模糊感,让每一场驱魔战斗都充满了不可预知的变数。你永远猜不到他下一步是会掏出圣水,还是会反手把队友卖给恶魔来换取情报。 虽然这部作品在当年的播出历程充满了坎坷,成了无数影迷心中的意难平,但它展现出的那个充满都市传说、恶魔契约和天使博弈的暗黑世界,至今依然是同类题材中难以逾越的标杆。它没有试图去说教什么是正义,而是通过一个满身缺点的混蛋,让我们看到了在最深的黑暗中,哪怕是自私的挣扎也能折射出微弱的人性光芒。如果你喜欢那种带着烟草味和酒精气的硬核魔幻,这绝对是一部不容错过的神作。
