18 Must-Watch Movies on Netflix Right Now (June 2025), Starting Keenu Reeves

A spear that pierced Jesus Christ is being used to unlock the gates of Hell, and the only person to stop it is John Constantine (Keanu Reeves). But his time on Earth is almost over due to a nasty smoking habit that’s metastasized into terminal lung cancer. Constantine strikes a deal with the archangel Gabriel (Tilda Swinton) for more time to investigate, but will he find the mysterious person before it’s too late?

Is the American Reeves miscast as the very British John Constantine? Yes. Does it matter? Not really. The movie is still an entertaining horror thriller with fun performances by Swinton as a sarcastic angel and Rachel Weisz as a LAPD detective investigating the gruesome death of her twin sister. The plot is playfully kooky, but it’s all in good fun, and some of the film’s images are horrifically evocative.
