Review of Angel Heart (1987) by Emily A — 29 Aug 2008

This movie was not without its charm, but the only reason it gets points at all is because of Robert deNiro's performance as Louis Cypher. Apart from that, there is little redeeming about this movie.

The script, story, characters and performances all fall kind of flat. The only thing that keeps that audience's interest is the mysterious dark magic element, but it's so poorly handled into such an illogical culmination that it makes the whole movie seem for naught.

Very disappointing.
