I caught a movie today.
I saw Constantine, the one that has just come out in theatre.
Keanu Reeves is in it as an evil hunter John Constantine. Yes, it is a gothic horror movie!

The weary-looking guy John Constantine can see what people aren't meant to see. What are they? They are called half-breed angels and devils that secretly inhabit on earth wearing human-skin. Constantine does exorcism-like work and save people.
One day, a patient in a mental hospital throw herself from up on the roof. She is a police officer Angela's identical twin sister. Angela is skeptical about her sister's suicide that she might have been killed by someone. She tries to find out the truth and then meets Constantine. They are deeply involved in the other world and then.... things go.

Well, the bottom line is ...
I couldn't follow the story at all !!
The English all the roles spoke was hard to catch. The story itself is hard to fully understand. I think you need to read the original comic or something in advance so that you are prepared for the world where the half-breeds exist.
First of all, you must forget the idea that angels mean good and devils mean evil. In this world of the movie, They both try to do something bad to human-beings.
.... I have no idea what that "something" is!!!
Oh, my poor English!!

This movie is going to be showing on G.W in Japan..
I think I should watch it again if it is still in theatre by the time I go back to Japan.
