75A surprisingly effective film.
-
75Angel Eyes is the rare film that presents a family dynamic as demented as ones we know from life.
-
75There'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.
-
63Lopez is so remarkably unaffected and guileless that she manages to carry the film through its mood swing, if not successfully to its conclusion.
-
63Lopez 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.
-
60But it's Lopez's movie, and its limitations are hers: Both actress and movie tackle emotional turmoil with a minimum of insight.
-
60Adds up to a carefully crafted romantic drama of considerable insight and emotional impact that provides Lopez an acting challenge she meets with ease.
-
60The sincerity of their performances (Lopez and Caviezel) overrides the intermittent implausibilities of Gerald Dipego's script.
-
50Shot in Chicago, this is a picture that looks better than it sounds and is made much better than it deserves to be.
-
50A wisp of ghost story that promises insight but is strictly soft focus.
-
50Hints 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.
-
50Wrapped in a layer of psuedo-spookiness that leads viewers to think the story is going somewhere it isn't.
-
50Darts back and forth from being a psychological thriller to a vaguely metaphysical drama to a fate-driven romance -- it all becomes a blur.
-
50A 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
-
42A cumbersome dud, grows draggier with each new revelation.
-
Viewers with a low tolerance for schmaltz may suffer; one heartfelt speech even drew nervous titters from the otherwise indulgent preview crowd.
-
40Together, Lopez and Caviezel make quite a pair. Sorrowful yet hip, they seem to be inventing a new mood: designer melancholia.
-
40This 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.
-
40The audience hasn't the slightest idea what is going on.
-
38A movie about healing that makes us want to scream out, ""Hollywood, heal thyself!"
-
30Doesn't work at any level, but the total lack of chemistry between its central couple is fatal.
-
A tearjerking romantic confection that, thanks to a reliance on unrestrained psychobabble and melodramatic one-upmanship, is only partially digestible.
-
30The product is so synthetic it has only attitude where its heart ought to be.
-
25One of the most anticlimactic finales I've ever seen in a movie
-
25During 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.
-
25Has 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.
-
20A sappy love story wherein nary a gun or action sequence is seen after the first 10 minutes.
-
20A romantic thriller of more than usual ineptitude.
