Angel Eyes [Blu-ray]

Luis Mandoki

Overview

Jennifer Lopez stars in this gritty, emotional drama as police officer Sharon Pogue, who covers up a painful past with an anger that fuels her job performance in one of Chicago's toughest precincts. Although her partner Robby (Terrence Howard) is concerned about Sharon, she won't confide even in her closest friend. Sharon's life takes a turn, however, when she's saved from a violent assault by Catch Lambert (James Caviezel), a haunted, enigmatic do-gooder whose guardian-angel deeds make him a hero to some, like disabled shut-in Elanora Davis (Shirley Knight). Sharon becomes romantically involved with Catch, with whom she has more in common than she imagines, as Catch is also tortured by a painful, traumatic event from his past. Angel Eyes, which is directed by Luis Mandoki and written by Gerald DiPego, co-stars Sonia Braga, Alfonso Arau, Jeremy Sisto, and Victor Argo.

Editorial Reviews

The eternal human conflict between isolation and connection is powerfully dramatized in Angel Eyes, an offbeat but absorbing romance that features Jennifer Lopez in the most demanding role to date in her career. She plays Sharon Pogue, a tough-as-nails Chicago cop who's estranged from her family and living a lonely, loveless existence. Miraculously saved from a thug's bullet by the timely intervention of a taciturn drifter named Catch (Jim Caviezel), Sharon befriends her mysterious rescuer, who's equally lonely and very much tormented by painful memories. Since these characters are initially unwilling to share details about their lives, Angel Eyes unfolds tentatively, gaining momentum only as new revelations gradually illuminate the darker sides of the two principal characters. Director Luis Mandoki (Message in a Bottle) demonstrates patience and tact in his handling of this material, and he elicits terrific performances from the leads -- especially Lopez, who subjugates her pop diva persona to the demands of this complex character. Very dark and even depressing in spots, Angel Eyes is hardly a typical Hollywood romance. And that's precisely what makes it so compelling.
