Resigned to his ultimate fate, Constantine is a droll, bitter demon-fighter that, as Reeves puts it, "prefers not to get close to people because they tend to die."

During their investigation, Constantine begins to realize he is not quite prepared for the dual role of demon-slayer and murder investigator as their search for answers takes them literally to hell and back.

 Constantine by Brian Tyler and Klaus Badelt | Cinemusic.net Soundtrack Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Constantine one-upped all of his previous entries in the genre however, partially because his writing is so much more confident and developed now, but primarily because the scope and spectacle of these assaults has expanded to statelier heights.
This is largely due to prominence of choir (sometimes as a moaning wordless mass, sometimes softly intoning Latin) and the occasional cavalcade of church bells (as in "Absentee Landlords"), both of which bring a sense of religious proportion to the unabashed bombast.
As it was ultimately butchered, revised, pasted, and market-tested, however, Constantine is something of a hodge-podge of strong pieces and hack cues that never gels.
