Review of Angel Heart (1987) by Rachel H — 01 Mar 2009

An absolutely stunning performance from Mickey Rourke really caries this film. DeNiro is of course, superb in his role, even if he is not in it for long. The score as well as the script is all rather unsettling and the way the story is spun is quite disturbing.

A finely tuned thriller that has one or two flaws, such as special effects that could've been left out altogether without any great loss. However other than a few little knitpicks, it is a truly excellent and unsettling thriller.
