Title: Constantine (2005)
"Constantine" is a supernatural thriller released in 2005, starring Keanu Reeves as the eponymous character derived from DC comics' series "Hellblazer".

Plot Summary
The movie centers around John Constantine (Keanu Reeves), a cynic with the ability to view and communicate with half-angels and half-demons in their true type. Identified with terminal lung cancer due to a lifetime of chain cigarette smoking, Constantine aims to make his method to Heaven by exorcising these creatures back to Hell. We fulfill an authorities detective, Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz), examining her twin sibling Isabel's death, which has been ruled a suicide - a condition that Angela conflicts.

Fulfilling of Main Characters
Angela seeks Constantine's assistance, setting the stage for a journey into a world of devils, angels, and underlying plots. Initially unwilling, Constantine finally agrees to help her, discovering Isabel's connection as a psychic to the occult and her function in the grand cosmic struggle between excellent and wicked. Angela, initially doubtful, is soon exposed to the painful reality of the supernatural entities among human souls.

Dispute and Revelation
The duo unwinds the plot of the satanic force Mammon- the son of Lucifer, aiming to break through the worlds with the Spear of Destiny and a psychic, delighting in the mayhem and torture occurring in the human world. Archangel Gabriel, disillusioned with people being God's favorite development over the angels, helps Mammon by keeping Lucifer uninformed about his child's activities.

Climax and Resolution
In the intense showdown, Constantine handles to summon Lucifer by trying suicide. He informs Lucifer about Mammon's betrayal and the inescapable power struggle that will follow if Mammon takes the earth. The concept of a contending prince of darkness does not agree with Lucifer, who punishes Mammon and Gabriel, leaving Constantine with a 2nd chance at life, treating his cancer as a "benefit".

Conclusion
While loose ends seem connected, Constantine's redemption mission stays unsolved, possibly suggesting a continuous battle between his cynicism and faith. He discards his cigarette pack, representing his separated expectation of death, expressing hope in the unpredictability of life instead.

General Film Interpretation
"Constantine" checks out how the world of the supernatural intertwines with human existence, depicting a metaphysical fight of excellent and evil through a cynic's viewpoint. The film wonderfully highlights the dichotomy between the theological and real world, appealing audiences with its distinct performance of spiritual folklore. It stands out for its capability to keep a strong sense of darkness and mystery throughout, representing not simply a fight for souls, but a complex exploration of faith, redemption, and the nature of great and present evil.
