| I saw this movie a long time ago when it first came out. But I bought this for a friend, to add to his horror collection. In fact I purchased this and another movie called Mr. Frost, also from Amazon. The gift's running theme was the Devil and I thought Robert De Niro's performance as Satan in Angel Heart was excellent. Along with Jeff Goldblum in Mr. Frost. Just wonderful acting. For myself, my favorites as far as who played God's most beloved angel but got the boot are these 2, plus Viggo Mortensen in The Prophecy, and John Glover in Brimstone. Broke my heart when they didn't continue with the series. His version of the Devil was outstanding. Sighs.. He will be missed.. RIP. | |

| *****************SPOILER ALERT***************************** This is one of my Favorite flicks (sorry) and I loved it since I saw it when it first came out. I'm absolutely crazy about cinematic versions of Satan and Robert DeNiro's performance is the best ever, bar none, IMHO. He seems perfect to me, what with his odd appearance and silky mannerisms. His ominous restraint is indeed his most frightening feature, since if the Devil truly exists he could effortlessly exterminate us with a snap of his fingers. But his legend has always been that he merely toys with us in order to gain our souls, perhaps more for his own amusement than for their value to him. He certainly manipulates Harry every step of the way. The irony here is that for every murder he makes Harry commit, Harry gets away with. But at the end he actually kills Epiphany himself and successfully frames Harry for that one. Anyway, this representation of him is right on the money. Very creepy, even before you realize who he really is, although you can sense immediately that he's more than just a man. My theory on the cane is that he needs it to walk because he has to fit his cloven hooves into shoes in order to pass as a human being. There's only one scene where we briefly see him standing and walking in any of his appearances. There's not a clear view of him walking and it takes place in a Catholic church so I'll bet this is Alan Parker and/or DeNiro himself having a little bit of fun with the part. But he uses different canes for different scenes, so maybe it's just a kind of royal scepter. It's all part of the atmosphere of this movie. Lots of little details. I always liked Mickey Rourke because he was just perfect for certain roles, and this is one of them. I'm glad that he has finally come out the other side of his own personal Hell and made a comeback with The Wrestler, also a part that he's absolutely ideal for. For some reason, in his interview he doesn't want to seriously discuss his acting or his character - he claims that Harry Angel was just an "everyday Joe"! Just an amoral, bottom-feeding, womanizing everyday Joe with amnesia and extensive plastic surgery who also double-crossed the Devil. At any rate, in Angel Heart his sleazy Brooklyn private eye is an all-time great version of the cliche-ridden cinematic gumshoe. What I liked the most about him is that he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever: no honesty, no integrity, no knightlike sense of honor like Marlowe or Spade or all those other guys. He strikes a match for his cigarette off the dead doctor's shoe and that tiny gesture tells us all we need to know about the character. And when we learn that Angel Heart is actually a quite literal term, it's a big shock. For me at least it was. In fact, everybody in this movie is reprehensible and despicable. There isn't a sympathetic person in sight. Even the minor characters behave immorally and unethically at best. The major roles are all fantastic - Rourke, DeNiro and Lisa Bonet. Miss Bonet supplies a weird mix of innocence and evil; of backwoods, barefoot backwardness and serene worldliness; and of wide-eyed sweetness and enthusiastic sensuality. Her notorious sex scene is very powerful and meant to invoke her statement of how her mother told her that her father was a "terrific lover", I think. Among other things. This transfer is great; couldn't be better. We get the full benefit of the fantastic cinematography and symbology. We'd need the finest anthropologist to decipher the countless emblems and talismans, but they sure looked authentic to my untrained eye. So anyway, if you want something unusual that stands up to repeated viewings, this is a superb choice. | |

| A powerful and brilliant script, incredible acting, indelible images, all make this movie a collectors item. Mickey Rourke has always been a great actor - that is why his role in The Wrestler is even more poignant...a great talent returns. | |
 "DVD Transfer Enhances This Sordid-But-Intriguing Movie" | 2009-01-20 |

| "Angel Heart" is a very sordid story. I usually don't go for that sort of thing, but there are a lot of other good things about this movie that made me add this to my collection. I just watched it last night, for the fourth time. One of the attractions is the outstanding cinematography and camera-work in here, made even better by this special edition enhanced-for-widescreen DVD transfer. This is a film with big-time visual appeal and is wonderfully directed. I just marveled at what I was seeing, shot-after-shot. I liked the old film-noir type atmosphere in the story, which is an interesting one overall. There are no really good-guy characters in this film. Mickey Rourke plays the star of the movie: private eye "Harry Angel." He's somewhat of a low-life but so is everyone else. Lisa Bonet looks spectacular and has a steamy sex scene in here. Robert De Niro gets big billing but he doesn't have that many lines in this movie. The ending of this modern-day film noir has a very unique twist to it, but it's certainly not a satisfying one. That's all I can say without spoiling it for you who have not seen the film. | |
