That was an excellent one.

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This movie – the real masterpiece. I have purely accidentally come across him on the Internet in August, 2017. And it is possible to call this movie on the right one of the greatest movies which I ever watched! He allows to look at the world on another and to change consciousness! The movie will be especially useful to people not to self-assured, those whom now it is especially difficult. Perhaps you have thought that it is the movie for losers. But it absolutely not so. It will be interesting also to those who has already taken place in life and strong stands on the feet. In the main characters you will be able to see yourself (in the past or in the present). In world cinema there are a lot of movies which motivate, but only this allows to glance on the present in himself and to change, fall in love with himself! Acting just at the top level on the 10th ball scale I would deliver to 100. It is that movie from the few which you look and try to catch each word.Not to open a plot I will tell that it tells about 28-year-old André who owes tens of thousands of euro to various bandits across all Paris. Terms draw in and he decides to jump off from the bridge and suddenly notices the girl who costs near him and too wants to jump off...

So I was searching around the media sites for something to watch the other night and after going through Netflix, Vudu, and Hulu, I didn't see anything that really caught my eye. Finally I gave Crackle a look and I stumbled across this movie by Luc Besson from back in 2005. I enjoyed the Leon: The Professional and La Femme Nikita so I figured I would give this one a try.The story revolves around Andre a down on his luck immigrant living in Paris. He seems to owe money to everyone in the city and they are looking to collect by whatever means necessary. Facing an untimely death anyway, Andre decides to take his own life by jumping into a river.Before he can jump he meets a six foot tall blonde woman named Angela who is also attempting to kill herself in the same fashion. She jumps, and Andre jumps in to save her. Andre manages to pull her out of the river, and Angela, in order to pay back Andre for saving her life, tells Andre that she is going to help him earn back the money he owes so that he can start his life fresh.It is not really giving anything away here to tell you that Angela is actually and Angel that was sent down to save Andre's life. (Angela = Angel-A get it? Oh luc you sly devil you.) Basically, what you are looking at here is 2 parts Its a Wonderful Life and 1 Part Wings Of Desire. Everything about Angel-A is largely derivative and this movie isn't bringing anything new to the table. Just like Wings the movie was shot in black and white and we get to see lots a scenes of architecture from around the city. The black and white doesn't really add any depth to this film.I didn't recognize the two leads from anything else I had seen. Jamel Debbouze was OK as Andre but his performance seems a bit over the top. He chews through his scenes like the Tasmanian devil from the Looney Tunes cartoons. Rie Rasmussen started off with a decent performance but he character gets more and more ham fisted as the movie progress.Angel-A can safely be skipped. If you haven't seen Wings of Desire yet then I highly recommend checking that film out instead.

'I am a reflection of you' Angela tells Andre, with an assured, smile over their table at a Parisian café.'What, a beautiful, 6 foot tall slut?' He asks, amused.'Yes.' For those who truly read into those lines, I believe them to be the summation of Andre's dual character profiles (the aesthetic averageand the beautiful inside 'put simply', as Angela might say) and the marrying of all the elements together in this Luc Besson beauty...Angela is the physical manifestation of Andre's 'inside'. In physicality - on which we all naturally draw instant conclusions on the people we encounter...she is the obvious everything that Andre can't see in himself, as it would mean looking past the 'first layer' - the surface.His good nature evokes the saying of those who stand '6 feet tall' purely on the grounds of his goodness - a man to be looked up to. Her 'sluttiness' - that dress and attitude - is a reference to Andre's habit of whoring himself out indiscriminately to anyone, regardless of their true intentions, who'll show him the slightest bit of attention or superficial kindness (the gambling scene and it's lead-up in the bar, embodies this). Her beauty, the embodiment of the western mainstream ideals of femininity and attractiveness - tall, long-legged, blonde, generally model looking - refer to the all-pervasive 'good' that Andre really is inside.Luc, instead of being conventionally preachy by consistently arguing the self is more important than the superficial - actually engages both, a physical manifestation - one in which we all recognise - to exemplify another in a way that couldn't possibly be lost on his audience.Very well done.That line truly made the film for me - otherwise, an elegant, jovial, delicate and smooth-running watch.

Angel A is one of those wonderful films that is truly an experience and original - as we watched we felt ourselves becoming more and ore drawn to this loser and this impossibly tall girl and their story.Both a fairy tale and a gritty look at Paris' underworld Besson mixes together a wonderful romance adds humor and fear and gives us something unique and magical.We were really moved by this: a tale of love that is definitely out of the ordinary. Shot in black and white and beautifully lit and composed, there is an ethereal, yet truly gritty tone to this that really does capture the viewer.The plot is almost impossible to describe without revealing spoilers, except to say André, a total loser, jumps from a bridge and saves Angela, and the adventure begins.Above all, this is film, and a film that you can experience and remember: a masterclass in brilliant captivating storytelling it might well be one of the great romantic movies - just different from beginning to end - and warmly recommended.
