Review of Angel Heart (1987) by Kepler M — 29 Jan 2008
Good supernatural thrillers with the incarnation of Satan himself as a pivot figureâ?¦.we don't see enough of these films, if you ask me. Alan Parker's `Angel Heart' is one of the chosen few! Complex and confusing at times, but warmly recommended to fans of the occult and mysterious cinema.
Mickey Rourke shines as protagonist Harry Angel. An unshaved, chain-smoking private eye with a chicken-phobia! The year is 1955 and the place is Brooklyn when Harry is hired by a malevolent Mr. Louis Cyphre (pronounce this name aloud a few times in a row) to find a missing crooner, who got severely traumatized in the war.
The money is good and the job doesn't seem that risky, so Harry accepts.
