The other comments that rave about this pathetic attempt at filmaking must be members of the cast's families. I had to view it till the end, hypnotized by disbelief. It's a serial killer story like Clint Eastwood's "Sudden Impact". Typical of poor writing, it requires the good guys to have a collective IQ under 20 otherwise the feature would be ten minutes long. Everything is telegraphed from beginning to end. The detectives are continuously behind a very stupid criminal who would have been caught by the lowliest real detective. People are dropping like flies under the most suspicious circumstances, they know the originating incident and everything is virtually lying in front of them, but they just can't figure it out. Also indicative of very poor writing, the characters ore full of attitude without anything between the lines. I would use this film to show film students what not to do as it contains all the errors a filmmaker can make. To top all this, It has that glossy stilted, commercial, TV, Canadian, Kodak film stock look. There is a complete lack of attention to any kind of detail. It's really hard to know where to start on this lemon. It always amazes me that you can actually finance such crap without anyone noticing.

Fallen Angel tries to be a "serial killer thriller" but it just ends up being as flat and limp as a wet noodle. Michelle Johnson plays Vicky Mayerson, a serial killer who's determined to kill every man who picked on and assaulted her one fateful night long time ago, when she was still in high school. Former Baywatch babe, Alexandra Paul, plays Laura Underwood, a detective who's out to bring Vicky to justice. This film's plot has the general outlines of a potentially good crime drama but where it goes wrong is in the specifics of execution, namely, in writing, directing, and acting. The dialogs of this film are incredibly cheesy and at times borders on camp. For example, in one scene a detective says concerning a victim who died while having sex, "I guess he was coming while he was going." Ah...yeah. Whatever. Another example: In a ten year high school reunion a woman says to a fellow graduate, "Like, it's been ten years!" Exactly. That's why they call those things ten year reunions. Also, the acting in Fallen Angel is either way over done (i.e. egregious overacting, e.g. Alexandra Paul, Michelle Johnson), or just plain flat and without any emotion (e.g. Anthony Michael Hall--who appears to be under heavy sedation throughout this film). I didn't care about any of the (poorly developed) characters in this film and I really didn't care whether they lived or died. The serial killer is dumb and her victims are even dumber. As I see it, this film would have worked if it had taken a "no-holds-barred-campy" approach. Instead, this is a dull and languid film that is self- deluded into thinking that it is exemplifying fine cinematic art. The killer in this film offers advice to her victims just before she finishes them off: "Never trust a man after midnight."

Reviewer Chris had it about right, it's ok but about the level of a network TV movie. It's about being double-crossed by your spouse, and moves along ok, without any real plot twists. If you're usually happy with TV movies you'll probably like this, but if you're looking for more, skip it. -Bob

Alexandra Paul surprised me in this movie. She was a lot better than what she was in Baywatch. The story is simple and interesting and isn't boring. I think this movie went straight to video which I can understand but rent it if you see it.
