Critic Reviews

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.

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.

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. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

A cumbersome dud, grows draggier with each new revelation. Read full review

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. Read full review

Stephen Holden

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

Peter Travers

A romantic thriller of more than usual ineptitude. Read full review

Criminally underrated flick. JLo and Jim Caviezel give stellar performances, this film was overlooked upon release because of the huge hate train JLo had but It deserves a watch.

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought the plot was interesting in this film, although its undoubtedly cheesy. I liked the premise. I thought the acting was ok, not brilliant but not awful. I wasn't expecting too much of this but I did enjoy it more than I think I expected to, so that's good. There's not much I can say about it, due to the plot twists but it might make you think. There are one or two nice themes present, about rising above circumstances. Some may think the ending is a little cliched but I thought it was a reasonably nice film.… Expand

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 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.… Expand
