This is an excellent movie of grief, psychological suspense on how the mind can be, and how love can cure. Excellent performance by JLo but especially Caviezel. I do not want to give any spoilers but the plot it is not slow or fast, it is appropriate to the story. People handle grief differently and others can cope with those who mourn differently. Either patiently or they run to the next relationship. It was interesting to see how the beginning ties up with the end. How many times we may come across people that later on may mean something important in our life. Great movie and I found it with Spanish subtitles.
... View MoreWhen I look around at reviews of movies on this site I honestly wonder if I am seeing the same films.Angel Eyes is one of those curiously (and, in my opinion, unjustly) maligned films which is actually a great deal more complex than the naysayers would have you believe.Jennifer Lopez has rarely been better. She strikes all the right notes as a feisty, and lonely, Chicago cop, Sharon Pogue who has made some difficult choices in her life and finds herself at a crossroads, alienated from her family.She meets "Catch" when he saves her life during an arrest that goes wrong. These two lonely individuals are at odds with life, carrying a great deal of personal pain, and they gravitate together perhaps recognising a need in each other.Jim Caviezel is superb as Catch. He has the right qualities of subtlety and stillness to make us believe in the damaged soul that Catch is.This is a lovely, understated film about loss, loneliness and the redemption of love. Well worth a watch.
... View MoreSo this was the first movie I went to see with my girlfriend at the time. Why did we choose it? I can't remember, maybe because I wanted to drool when watching Jennifer's beautiful rear.To be honest, I didn't expect much from it, but I have to admit that it's a regular-almost good dramatic feature that would work better as a regular transmission for Hallmark Television.The plot is good at some points but feels more like a direct for t.v. effort. The acting works pretty good and J-LO demonstrates she's a good actress. She performed fine at least. Jim Caviezel delivers a very good performance and demonstrates he's a serious actor. I wonder if he could've worked better in dramatic theater. Sonia Braga delivers a good performance as always.Oh, well, I could only recommend it for fans of the delicious J-Lo or if it airs on late cable.Oh, and I got to see J-Lo's naked ass in this one in a steamy sex scene near a river.
... View MoreI found this movie really engaging, even though it's imperfect directorially. Much of my admiration, though, may be because I fell madly in love with Jim Caviezel and his quiet, handsome, troubled but gently noble character (so bear that in mind!)...Jennifer Lopez did very well - a sparky performance as always. Her police officer role appears to come very naturally to her, and the pairing is interesting with the initially mysterious Caviezel character. Overall this movie may not win awards, but the lead characters are well drawn and their developing relationship is engaging, unpredictable and endearingly life-like. It's a nice romantic movie which draws you in.
