Christopher Walken is his usual self, but I can't remember anything else from this movie.

lousy, but chris walken is great

Interesting but sooo boring.

The movie is intriguingly oblique about what's going on, and eventually irritatingly so. And the lofty tone is lowered by campy portrayals of Gabriel-Gone-Bad (Walken) and Lucifer Himself (Mortensen). Upholding the tone to some degree are the fey tristesse of the Good Angel (Stoltz) and the tortured soulfulness of the Mere Human (Koteas).

Widen fashions an original, surreal fright fantasy. While he apparently lacked the budget to give this the sweeping treatment it deserved, he still offers many a memorable tableau. Not every riff works and loose threads are left hanging, but this stacks up as a thoughtful, chilling addition to the religious-horror subgenre.

Christopher Walken? Automatically sets the baseline to 80.

After watching it again after at least 7 years, I have to admit I remembered it slightly better than it actually is. Christopher Walken and Viggo Mortensen are superb, but overall it's not top notch. But still enjoyable.

Nice Movie

Where to begin? I'm not completely sure what the story was as I stopped caring about halfway through. The script is bad but the dialogue is even worse, it's like straight out of B-movie from the 80s. Walken is always a pleasure to watch, but he's one of the few redeeming qualities in this and it's just not enough to save it.

Was expecting stupid + entertaining, but I got stupid + boring instead. Once the 'Oh Shit It's Christopher Walken'-factor wears off, it just becomes a crawl to the finish line.

In two hells there's one too many. Yes, I know. The story did not stand for closer look, but, man, did the director created enjoyable story. The dialogue was witty and all actors did they characters alive. Even the small girl was pretty good. There was a couple of pretty lame fighting scenes, but I loved 95% of the story. And of course I did not bite the strength of angels no more than a strong man.

Interesting story with some great supporting characters; a pity it's so rushed and that the male and female leads are so dull.

Make it stop Mr. Widen, make it stop !!!

Over the top performances from Viggo and Walken make this fun, but I was dissapointed in Koteas, whom I normally enjoy.

Damned if this film aint cool! I must confess this is a personal favorite, the sequal ruins what this film does so don't bother with it, but this gem is a great watch and an interesting take on Angels.

Viggo as Lucifer was the best part in this movie. Well, besides Walken being creepy in every scene.

Some of this movie borders on the totally awesome. Some logical inconsistencies, script choices, and budget constraints keep it from being great, but it's definitely quite a fun film. Christopher Walken is awesome, and as was Viggo Mortensen in his short role. Plus it sounded like it was recorded in a can.

Good

Like the Terminator, only with Angel Walken instead of Robot Schwartzenegger. And a whole bunch of other differences. This review is going really well, I think.

not a good film, but Walken is fun

Like the ideas behind the film and the performances. The ideas were too big to fit into a movie.

Neat ideas, but it could have been better

Points for Walken's creepiness and Viggo as Satan, but this is largely forgettable stuff.

Walken is excellent as the Archangel Gabriel in this eerie tale about the fight for the human soul. Very entertaining film!

It should've been more epic that it is. It's still a great movie but it could've been better. The general premise is very interesting, Walken and Mortensen give amazing performances, but the child actor for Mary and some poor sections of dialog and cliche' cinema moments drag the movie down. If you can look past that, however, it's still a very good movie.

A black mark on the careers of half a dozen above-average actors. I remember telling my friends that at least I got a bargain, because a hooker would have charged a lot more than seven dollars to take a dump on me.

A good Mystery Thriller with a great charismatic Walken.

Christopher Walken and Viggo Mortensen are quite good (even if Viggo's role as Lucifer is quite small). The rest of the movie just makes you wish that God would smite everyone involved.
