Pros: Good Acting - Fast Moving
Cons: Strange - and weird
My daughter, Artbyjude, has convinced me that she and I should partner for this write off. The movie we decided to watch together is Angle Heart.
I realize that I do not write very good movie reviews. Sometimes it takes me a long time to figure...

Angel Heart: TriStar Pictures
Rating: USA: R/ USA: Unrated/
With all the recent hullabaloo over The Sixth Sense and its twist ending, I decided that it was time to take a stroll down memory lane and review an...

by artbyjude - Top 500, Jun 01 '03
Pros: DeNiro, the plot and structure, cinematography, maybe Bonet
Cons: Rourke, drags in the middle and is a little confusing at times.
In this write off, the only requirement was to watch the same movie as your buddy, and presumably without talking about it, offer two separate reviews. My buddy on this endeavor was my mother granniemose. I am not sure how she liked this movie,...

Pros: Great acting, plot and direction.
Cons: Generic first half; familiar ending.
Whatever happened to Mickey Rourke? The guy was on top of the world in the 80’s; he was a sex-symbol ...

Pros: Acting, plot, direction, cinematography, plot, symbolism.
Cons: I've seen better movies.
One of the better movies I've seen in a while, that I've enjoyed for every aspect, is Angel Heart. The performances drove 2

Hour, but this movie has everything going for it- acting, style, a cool plot, a ...

Pros: a dark brooding cult classic
Cons: a bit violent and gore ridden for some tastes
Harry Angel (Mickey Rouke) is that cliche down at heal private detective who is offered a large rate of pay to look for a missing big band singer, Johnny Favorite. His client is the mysterious Louis Cyphre (Robert DeNiro) an elegant and sinister ...

Pros: Stunning cinematography, a fascinating plot and a career-best performance from Rourke.
Cons: Some may find the plot confusing (all the more reason to watch it again though)
Many a movie exploits the distressing notion of a man out of his depth, but few men find themselves in as deep and distressed as Mickey Rourke’s shabby Private Detective Harry Angel.
A diabolically dark supernatural piece, Alan Parker’s...

by BrianKoller - Top 50, Sep 17 '00
Pros: casting, direction, sets, uncompromising story
Cons: will offend many, not for kids, overdone
One of the most controversial films of 1987, Angel Heart has since fallen into nearly as much obscurity as the career of its leading man, Mickey Rourke. Sources disagree concerning the fate of Rourke. Some say he became a professional boxer....

by lansky2000 - Top 1000, Jul 29 '00
Pros: One of the best Rourke flicks...
Cons: Why don't they make them like they used to?
Mickey Rourke has indubitably (like that word?) placed himself at the top of the heap of B-movie kingpins in Tinseltown. After having distinguished himself in three-star flicks such as "Diner" and "The Pope Of Greenwich Village", he...

by swoeste - Top 1000, Dec 27 '01
Pros: Excellent movie for slowly building horror; superb mood and acting, sly hints to ending.
Cons: Movie may not be self-consistent; did the Devil already have Johny's soul?
As with many of my movie reviews, there is a personal anecdote for this one. I had just driven back from a job interview over a hundred miles from where I lived. It was late evening on a miserable winter day, and I was tired, both from...

by markantony , Apr 13 '00
Pros: Thought-Provoking, Spiritually Smart
Cons: Could Have Used Voodoo in a Less Confusing Manner
"Angel Heart" is a spiritual/horror movie in that small class of thought-proving pictures ("Fallen" "The Sixth Sense"} that puts back the human face on scariness. There are no monsters to be frightened when considering the...

by pach1908 , Jul 21 '00
Pros: Directing, acting, lighting, script. In other words, everything
Cons: I didn't see it on big screen
Super late '80s film noir from director Alan Parker. This film is deeply chilling, creepy down to the cold fingers slinking down your eighth vertebrae even now, chock full of twists and mind-bending red-herrings out of the nightmare where you want to...

Pros: Yes, the array of talent in the movie is somewhat impressive...
Cons: ... but couldn't the talent have found a better vehicle than THIS abomination?
I've read the reviews on eopinions and other sites in praise of this movie, so I understand that I'm likely on the losing side of the argument in my utter distaste for it, but so strong is my conviction that I felt SOMEONE needed to condemn this movie,...

Pros: The darkness and depth
Cons: nothing
What more could you ask for? I love New Orleans and have studied voodoo as a cultural phenomena and religion for years now and this movie does it justice. This movie is scary and thrilling and if you take the time you can see the depths it goes to.

Pros: fascinating plot
Cons: slow at times
Angel Heart is one of the creepiest moviees I have ever seen. It is a slow movie story of a privite detective looking for Johnny Favorite a missing singer. He is not sure who he is looking for him for, but hey the money is good. Throughout the movie...
