Review of Heaven (1999) by Aaron W — 17 Dec 2008
A tranny stripper who can see the future tries to help out a down on his luck gambler after he "saves" her from being raped. I won't go further into to the plot; suffice it to say it's rather complicated and told in a nonlinear manner as was the post Pulp Fiction fashion.
Most of these sorts of films tend to suck, but this one's a gem in the rough. Martin Donovan is great and proves once again that he really should get more work as a lead. Danny Edwards makes Heaven a convincing and sympathetic character.
And Richard Schiff makes for a great likable bad guy as well. The plot is good, though the whole non-linear thing probably makes it more engaging than it actually is. Still, it's a fun little film and I can't deny that I enjoyed it.
