Constantine (2005)


One of my favorite movies in recent years is the 2005 version of Constantine, starring Keanu Reeves.


I was re-watching this over the weekend, as part of my annual "gearing up for Halloween" movie marathon, when I realized--for the first time--that Constantine had a BF bondage scene!

 

It's the exorcism scene at the beginning of the movie. Constantine arrives to find a young possessed woman (Jhoanna Trias) tied to the bed. 


Constantine takes care of that pesky demon in no time. I realize that Reeves wasn't considered to be a good choice for the lead role by Constantine purists (the character is British and blond), but I still love this movie, regardless (and even more so now). 


But I had never read the Constantine comics until I was introduced to the character through this film. The DVD I bought of this has a mini comic book that features Constantine in one of his Vertigo adventures.


So while I understand the complaints about this version of Constantine, it's still near and dear to my heart--not for just being a good movie, but also because it introduced me to Constantine and his dark world.
