The Lost Angel (2005) Reviews
This movie could have been better.
I'm glad i saw this movie since it broadened my view on how to judge a good movie. This movie has all the right elements of being a good movie. Quite good actors (but not good in this movie), quite good budget, a good script pitch and so on. It does however fail in the script section as well as in building the story. It takes unlikely turns and doesn't create the important trust between the storyteller and the viewer. POSITIVE: The picture and environment was occasionally good. The main story pitch is good. The actors are usually good. NEGATIVE: All the rest. I found this movie a sad use of time and money so my advice is to invest your time otherwise.
this movie should have taken lessons from said Angel
Slight off-balance police inspector Palmer (Alison Eastwood) works with Father Brian (Judd Nelson) to solve for a religion-based killer, while she deals with her teen-aged goth sister. Huge plot holes, faulty logic, an un-likable 'heroin' and the fact that the movie just trudges on make this crime thriller awful.It's one of those direct to video flicks that you'd likely find early in the morning on cable, but even if you do stumble across it don't bother watching. My Grade: D- Eye Candy: Alison Eastwood gets topless, Andrea Runge gets full frontal (yea she's dead at the time, but what ya gonna do,ya know?)
In one word - BORING
To begin with this is one movie when I wanted the lead to be the next victim. Alison Eastwood, unfortunately didn't inherit any of her dad's talent. A completely unbelievable performance. I can accept anything in these bad made for TV movies on LMN, but not this one. I couldn't believe how this inept detective gets away with what she does. Taking on a man twice her size in one punch; tripping a guy with a gun. C'mon gimme a break. She plays the role with the emotional level of a minus 10. Monotone voice, blank facial expressions and absolutely no sex appeal, this was a mistake. I guess when your father's a star you get all the breaks. Everyone else in this loser I won't embarrass them by mentioning their names. I'll give them a break to help them forget this experience with Eastwood's bad acting. She can't be serious about a career. Please.
Happy, when it finally ends!
Dear Readers, to make it short and plain for the ones in a hurry: 'Beware!' This is probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I never waited for an end of a movie so much, that's why it was a happy end at least for me, when it was finally over. I am quite convinced that nobody with only a little bit of an artistic approach or a soft spot for a good story or nice pictures or a solid camera or anything is able to like this movie at all. None of that was in the movie. The direction was totally miserable, the acting much worse and even the camera work was just appearing semi-artistic to me. The storyline was supposed to be a 'nightmare', and it really turned out to be one, but not as intended by the tended viewer. I found it to be boring and uninspired, there was no red-line visible due to weird and unconnected turns of the story and also a lot of dead end plots. Since the story and characters did not work out, there was not even a little bit of tension noticeable. What was e.g. all that talking about all these weird symbols at the site of crime about? Why was (it in) the movie at all? Just to give this silly, intransparent and unnecessary hint to the murderer? How dull can it get? It really looks like somebody has been trying to take 'all the cool content' from other movies, but surprise, it did not fit together and nobody wanted to play it with a 'soul'. Allison Eastwood in fact was acting so badly, that every little bit of atmosphere was immediately destroyed with the first word of hers. She was not into her character at all, trying play that tough woman. Is Clints daughter supposed to be like that? If so, it certainly did not work out at all. She would be good as a newsreader though, keeping her voice that neutral and unemotional. Sorry Allison, no movie with you again. Even John Rhys-Davies was surprisingly bad, but with a set of so boring and flat characters, even good actors are only able to fail. I am willingly to forgive that the movie was totally unrealistic, since I personally don't expect that necessarily from a Hollywood making. But at least good cinematic handicraft and some passion of the actors I would have expected, besides that uninteresting story. Stay away from this movie, it is a waste of money and a shame in my eyes. You will watch your clock more than the movie, in the hope that it will run faster so you can do something nice instead. It was a total waste of time for me.
Dull cop thriller.
The Lost Angel starts as police inspector's Billie Palmer (Allison Eastwood) & her partner Julian (screenwriter & producer Nicholas Celozzi) shoot Brian Walls (Darcy Laurie), a suspect in two brutal homicides. All seems well with Billie & Julian feeling very pleased with themselves, however all is not well as the killer strikes again & since Brian was in jail he couldn't possibly have done it. The killings seem to have some religious connotation as the victims are crucified & strange ancient writings decorate the walls of each crime scene, the FBI send in Father Brian (Judd Nelson) to help the investigation. The trial leads to St. Rita's church which all the victims attended or had links too, they soon realise they are up against a killer who is performing the ancient rite of sacrificing someone everyday for twenty days & they face a race against time before more innocent lives are lost... This American Canadian co-production was co-written, produced & directed by Dimitri Logothetis & this is a pretty routine, sub standard & throughly dull cop thriller. The script by star Celozzi & director Logthetis which takes itself very seriously is as bland & workman like as they come, basically the film revolves around a series of murders with a religious slant & the cops who are trying to solve them. Seriously if I was giving points out for originality then The Lost Angel would get minus 10, not much focus is given to the murders or the religious significance other than it's some sort of rite, the character's are terrible especially the lead cop Billie Palmer who I really wanted to die & as a result it was impossible for me to get into the story or care about what was happening. I was pretty much on autopilot, sure I was watching it but it wasn't making any impression on me at all. Then there's the fact The Lost Angel tries to be many things, it wants to be a scary horror, a tense thriller, a teenage coming of age story, a heartfelt tale of cops finding redemption for earlier problems, a romance & it also tries to be clever with a lame twist ending which doesn't work. Director Logthetis turns in an OK looking film but it feels more like a cheap made-for-TV detective show with slightly more swearing & a bit more blood. I have to mention the opening credits here which are of a CGI computer animated drain, the camera speeds along the pipes with the cast & crews names dotted around the place before the camera emerges from a plug hole & into the film proper, it's a nice idea I suppose but the animation looks terrible & it's just so at odds with the rest of the film which is as bland & forgettable as they come it's frankly bizarre. Forget about any decent gore, there are a couple of bodies with some blood on them & a few gunshot wounds but nothing to get excited about. Technically the film is OK even if it doesn't have any sort of style or visual flair, it has average production values & is competent but nothing more. Allison Eastwood if you didn't know happens to be the daughter of Clint so it's surprising to see her in junk like this, couldn't her dad fix her up with a good role in a big budget Hollywood flick? John Rhys-Davies plays a deaf priest & C. Thomas Howell is here somewhere. The Lost Angel is one of those films which tries to be several things but ends up as nothing in particular, a below average cop thriller that really isn't worth wasting your time on.
