RELEASED 8 Feb 20052h 1m★ 7.2 TMDB

John Constantine has literally been to Hell and back. When he teams up with a policewoman to solve the mysterious suicide of her twin sister, their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles.

Why it matters in DC

An investigation involving a policewoman brings Constantine's experience of Hell into contact with an ordinary search for answers. The film offers a self-contained route into DC's supernatural world, where hidden knowledge and personal history matter more than conventional superhero strength.
