    Cool little detail you might have missed is that at the beginning when that guy finds the Spear of Destiny and then turns and looks over his shoulder at seemingly nothing, it was because he sensed Constatine was behind him. Later on in the movie when Constatine uses that electric chair to track down where the Spear is, it shows him standing behind the guy when he finds the Spear. So it's like a little time travel thing.

      Same with Isabel part. In the security camera footage (reviewing by Angela), before Isabel jumped off the building, she turned around and said Constantine's name without his presence. Then later when Constantine went to hell and found Isabel, she turned around and saw him and said his name just like in the security camera footage.

Frankly, I like this Constantine(Con-staan-teen) than the Constantine(Con-staan-tayn) of The Sandman.

      Not really. Constantine is a magician (in the Occult Magick using sense) which is how Alan Moore introduced him during the time he was writing Swamp Thing and that has not changed since EXCEPT in this movie.
      He is NOT primarily an Exorcist although he CAN banish demons,
      Moore would know this since he based that side of the character on himself. The same as he did all the Qabalistic knowledge he throws into his Promethea title.

And it just feels on par now with a lot of movies in the genre.

    I love so much about this movie that you discuss in your post film chat. Noir slow burn, really solid VFX, a lot of great tension, dark tone, struggle between his apathy, desire for some form of redemption, and his anger at God, the surrounding characters were all excellent actors and felt like fully developed characters even with limited screen time, the cinematography is fucking awesome...it's all SO GOOD. I wish we had a sequel to it. Even with the MCU, which I truly love, Constantine is one of my all time favorite comic movies brought to life and I've never even read them.

    Fun fact. Although 666 is considered today to be the mark the beast, this is actually a mistranslation, the true mark is 616 according to revelation 13:18 and even Going all the way back to fragments of Papyrus 115.
    So in the scene were father Hennessy looks at Isabelle’s toe tag and you see 616, this is a subtle clever piece of foreshadowing to let you know that the devil already has her soul.
    Also, in case you’re curious, the designation of universe 616 was named as such by comic book writer and real life wizard Allen Moore (in an issue of Captain Britain,) who also wrote Constantine (Back when it was known as Hellblazer) And if your wondering why he chose the mark of the devil as the main marvel universe, it because he thought that it would be cool if the main comic universe was just some really big number, and he chose 616 as a subtle jab and critique of marvel Comics.

Swinton is brilliant casting. It was so cool to not only see Morpheus show up in John Wick... but also having Stormaire (Lucifer) as well. It makes me want to see Wick's head table consisting of all the women he has ever acted with... Weisz, Swinton, Bullock, Carrie-Anne Moss, Winona Ryder, etc. Maybe even have his in-movie dead wife at the head, being not so dead. Maybe she pretended to be dead just to get Wick back in the game.
