...but time had been a victoreous enemy. A bit of naivistic detective-story in a voodoo/satanism -ridden world, where stupidly-named Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) meets a a set of just-as-stupidly named villians and friends, finds himself tangled in a web of mysteries and tries to find out what has happened to Johnny Favourite, a wartime singer now gone missing for 12 years.
Angel Heart is a film made in the 80's, with all it's goodies and bad things. Director, Alan Parker, has propably been watching a lot of Blue Velvet and films of that type to create a haunting atmosphere, which propably was scaryish back in the days, but today all the tricks have been seen million + 1 times, it's not really doing anything but putting the viewer on a nostalgy trainride.
There's nothing badly wrong about Angel Heart, only the fact that it's a victim of it's own time. But then again, actors are great, director knows what he is doing and the story works, so no reason one shouldn't love this film as well.
