Angel Heart

OK...we have the big three here in mm books...Robert De Niro and Mickey Rourke being directed by the great Alan Parker. Nevermind the fact Lisa Bonet is not just eye candy here and actually DOES act...no....this flick is all about the big three. Granted, De Niro is just a bit player here but he brings so much to his part he can in no way shape or form be overlooked. As for Rourke, despite all of the amazing work he has done I feel this is his best..period! Parker may have made better films but of them all this is my favorite. A trail blazer well ahead of it's time ANGEL HEART is the real deal in every sense, tightly scripted by Parker from the William Hjortsberg novel FALLING ANGEL, superb performances by all involved including Dann Florek who is odd to see in anything other than a LAW & ORDER episode, with music and atmosphere to smother you stupid. Erotic thrillers just don't come any better than this.
