Summary

RATING: R for language, violence and a scene of sexuality

Starring Jennifer Lopez, James Caviezel, Sonia Braga, Terrence Dashon Howard, Shirley Knight, and Jeremy Sisto

75

Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach

There's a moving, complicated love story at the center of Angel Eyes. It's too bad a peripheral plot line draws attention away from it.

75

San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle

Angel Eyes is the rare film that presents a family dynamic as demented as ones we know from life.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

A surprisingly effective film.

63

Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey

Lopez is so remarkably unaffected and guileless that she manages to carry the film through its mood swing, if not successfully to its conclusion.

63

Boston Globe Jay Carr

Lopez is not yet the actor Caviezel is. Still, she fills her performance with conviction, does a couple of her own stunts, and has enough star presence to fill the big screen.

60

Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum

The sincerity of their performances (Lopez and Caviezel) overrides the intermittent implausibilities of Gerald Dipego's script.

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

But it's Lopez's movie, and its limitations are hers: Both actress and movie tackle emotional turmoil with a minimum of insight.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Adds up to a carefully crafted romantic drama of considerable insight and emotional impact that provides Lopez an acting challenge she meets with ease.

Variety Robert Koehler

Darts back and forth from being a psychological thriller to a vaguely metaphysical drama to a fate-driven romance -- it all becomes a blur.

Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington

Shot in Chicago, this is a picture that looks better than it sounds and is made much better than it deserves to be.

50

New Times (L.A.) Luke Y. Thompson

A unique and striking film for at least the first two-thirds of its running time, after which it turns, all too sadly, predictable and mundane

Charlotte Observer Lawrence Toppman

Hints heavily at its One Big Secret from the get-go, then waits for you to figure it out miles ahead of the not-too-bright characters.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

Wrapped in a layer of psuedo-spookiness that leads viewers to think the story is going somewhere it isn't.

USA Today Susan Wloszczyna

A wisp of ghost story that promises insight but is strictly soft focus.

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

A cumbersome dud, grows draggier with each new revelation.

Washington Post Rita Kempley

The audience hasn't the slightest idea what is going on.

New York Magazine Peter Rainer

Together, Lopez and Caviezel make quite a pair. Sorrowful yet hip, they seem to be inventing a new mood: designer melancholia.

Washington Post Desson Thomson

This is all about getting your life back on course before you can fall in love. Which isn't such a bad idea for a movie, as long as there's something more. Unfortunately, there isn't.

Austin Chronicle Marrit Ingman

Viewers with a low tolerance for schmaltz may suffer; one heartfelt speech even drew nervous titters from the otherwise indulgent preview crowd.

New York Daily News Jack Mathews

A movie about healing that makes us want to scream out, ""Hollywood, heal thyself!"

The New York Times Stephen Holden

The product is so synthetic it has only attitude where its heart ought to be.

Salon.com Andrew O'Hehir

Doesn't work at any level, but the total lack of chemistry between its central couple is fatal.

Village Voice Mark Holcomb

A tearjerking romantic confection that, thanks to a reliance on unrestrained psychobabble and melodramatic one-upmanship, is only partially digestible.

25

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker

Has all the telltale signs of desperate re-editing: mismatched shots, clumsy transitions and a devastating car wreck that occurred either on a dry sunlit day or in the midst of a nighttime downpour, depending on the flashback.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

During an endless, maudlin last act, it becomes more and more difficult not to laugh -- or barf -- as the protagonists tearfully come to terms with their issues.

Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez

One of the most anticlimactic finales I've ever seen in a movie

20

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson

A sappy love story wherein nary a gun or action sequence is seen after the first 10 minutes.

Rolling Stone Peter Travers

A romantic thriller of more than usual ineptitude.

What Our Users Said

The average user rating for this movie is 7.4 (out of 10) based on 15 User Votes

Note: User votes are NOT included in the Metascore calculation.

Smurf gave it an8:
This movie was very moving. I really enjoyed it. The storyline is interesting and not predictable. You are constantly trying to put the puzzle piece's of Catch's life together and intrigued by the relationship between him and Sharon.

Chad S. gave it a6:
Having just recently seen the latest offering by David Cronenberg, "Angel Eyes" sort of plays like "A History of Music". If not for a godawful sequence in which we see Sharon(Jennifer Lopez) and "Catch"(James Caviezel) fall in love via montage, "Angel Eyes" is reasonably mysterious, and more importantly, rare in a studio film, subtle. In an extremely obscure way, the familial subplot reminds me of Cameron Crowe's "Say Anything", because both films end with the man coming to his woman's rescue after an uncomfotable meeting with her father. At various times, we think "Catch" might be a ghost, or a child molester, or perhaps a child molesting ghost. One half of his secret is interesting, but the other half might be too melodramatic, and yet Jennifer Lopez and Jim Caviezel redeem some potentially yucky scenes by resisting the temptation to go for the Oscar. Lopez needs to stay out of the tabloids. Jenny-from-the-block makes a very convincing cop.

Sunny S. gave it a 0:
Despite the media's overwhelming support for Jenifer Lopez's skill as an actress I could not see any evidence for this, I'd say in this particular role (hotheaded tough girl cop) she is quite mediocre. Furthermore this film was quite slow paced and rather tedious. As for James Caviezel he seemed rather emotionless and robotic. This isn't the worst film I've seen but its certainly near the bottom of my list.

The Fiendish Plot Of Gilbert Mulroneycakes gave it a 7:
Better than it has any right to be. Caviezel's brilliant, obviously, and Carrie L can give over, because Lopez proves here that she's a good actress. She doesn't always have the best material, but she's never less than impressive. Oh, come on, she's even great in "Enough", which is something of a Herculean achievement. As for the film, it's all a bit glossy and a lot unlikely, but enjoyable (and occasionally haunting) nonetheless. Efficient.

Nick S. gave it a 6:
This film would have had a completely different impact if it had been marketed differently. From watching the trailer, one would assume that "Angel Eyes" was a supernatural thriller. It seemed as if the film dealt with angels, as the title indicates. But there are no supernatural elements in this film which should be known to the public because as an old-fashioned dramatic love story, it works rather decently. Lopez gives a good performance and Caviezel is always good in every role he plays. This is a nice romantic film to see with a person you love.

Carrie L. gave it a 0:
I don't want to offend any J.Lo fans, but this is JMHO...the film was too slow and tedious for my tastes. I've yet to be impressed with her "alleged" acting abilities. If she has talent I didn't see it in this film.

Loganne B. gave it a 10:
The movie was great. Jennifer Lopez's performance was better than ever. None other than wonderful can explain this film.
