### **Overall Score and Recommendation**
Francis Lawrence’s *Constantine* has aged better than expected, though more so for its visuals and themes than its mixed-bag performances. Warner Bros.’ new 4K edition breathes fresh life into the film with a stunning HDR10 transfer, although the audio mix falls slightly short of perfection. With a robust collection of legacy bonus features and a new retrospective, this 20th Anniversary release is a solid choice for fans and newcomers alike. **Firmly Recommended.**
