Review of Angel Heart (1987) by Pan L — 10 Jan 2008
Remember times when good o'le Mickey was cute pretty boy (even when 'bit chunky, as playing Angel) before booze and professional box fighters had fixed him to real life Marv from Sin City? Well, his boyish look is one but lets not forget about Rourke's solid acting, too.
Would you believe that young Lisa Bonet was given official permission from TV station bosses and Bill Cosby himself to take a part in new Parker's project, even if known it's going to be controversial? Helluva good performance of Robert De Niro places this movie as the pearl on my 'satanic' shelf.
Great shots & lights, and dense climate of Brooklyn/New Orlean in '55. Heavy stuff but I love it.
