The Big Picture If there was something in a film that the late Roger Ebert didn't like, or outright hated, he had no qualms about being deliberate and vocal about it. One such film that earned Ebert's scorn is Constantine: the film where Keanu Reeves takes on the role of the occult detective John Constantine, who first appeared in DC Comics in the pages of Swamp Thing #37 in 1985.
His request granted, Constantine is tracked down by detective Angela Dodson , who seeks his help in investigating the mysterious suicide of her sister Isabel, a devout Catholic. At first reluctant, Constantine changes his mind after seeing demons pursuing the detective. After fighting them off, Constantine takes a peek into Hell via ritual and confirms that yes, Isabel did kill herself, only there's more to the story.
Unable to stop Gabriel alone, Constantine kills himself by slitting his wrists, banking on Lucifer himself coming to collect his soul. Sure enough, Lucifer does show up, pausing time to stop while the fallen angel collects his prize. But the crafty Constantine convinces Lucifer to step in and stop Mammon himself, keeping his place as King of the Demons secure.
