Lack of good storyline.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This film might not appeal to everyone due to the good vs evil plot in a religious context. Although the film is rather weird at times, it was enjoyable and the very good cast makes it convincing. Christopher Walken is exceptional! The visual effects are also very good for its time. The film became a cult classic and spawned four sequels.

I enjoyed this. While it is about Heaven, Hell, angels and souls, this really doesn't push the viewer to choose a theological position about the subject. However, I am a Christian, therefore I am going to give my opinion from that standing.I loved the idea that angels could be jealous of how much God loves us. The idea that this jealousy could cause friction between the souls of mankind and angels really does have the potential to be scary. We know God loves us and that the angels are the Lord's servants but Lucifer became so jealous of God that he, God's most beloved angel, ended up being cast out of Heaven. We know that angels have the ability to harbor that sort of emotion so, what if those feeling were directed towards us. It really is a great concept. This is a movie that I would suggest to a friend. If you don't have a position about faith, don't let that stop you from checking this out. You can simply watch it for what it is and still find that it is a good movie.

Unusual and fine picture written and directed by Gregory Widen supplied for a clever screenplay for this cutting-edge production,Walken made a near perfect dark Angel Gabriel,for those gospel famous tales of the fallen Angels,promptly well made adaptation to nowadays has an enchantment for the audiences,taking the final act in Indian reservation in Arizona for instance of little Indian girl be fall in trance...religious mysticism well crafted!!

This is my first IMDb movie review so bare with me!I had very high hopes for this film as two of my favourite actors (Christopher Walken and Viggo Mortensen) star in it and also because even though I am an atheist, I enjoy movies with a religious context to them especially if they are of the horror or thriller genre.By the synopsis, this film sounded okay, nothing great but nothing terrible. The film starts off slow and I kept waiting for it to pick up but it never did. It fell flat on every scene. I was bored rigid watching it which isn't like me watching a film. I can usually find something riveting while watching a movie.The actors done their best with a weak script but it wasn't enough to make this movie entertaining.I'm usually quite generous with films. I know that most of the films I watch will never be amazing or memorable, they will be average and passable. Sadly, this one doesn't even cut to average.I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone unless its on the TV one day and you have nothing to watch while you sit and text your friends and don't actually pay attention to what its on the TV, you just have it on in the background.
