The Lost Angel

Slight off-balance police inspector Palmer (Alison Eastwood) works with Father Brian (Judd Nelson) to solve for a religion-based killer, while she deals with her teen-aged goth sister. Huge plot holes, faulty logic, an un-likable 'heroin' and the fact that the movie just trudges on make this crime thriller awful.It's one of those direct to video flicks that you'd likely find early in the morning on cable, but even if you do stumble across it don't bother watching.

My Grade: D-

Eye Candy: Alison Eastwood gets topless, Andrea Runge gets full frontal (yea she's dead at the time, but what ya gonna do,ya know?)

This was the worst movie that I have seen in a long, long time. My wife and really love "cop movies" but it seems as if they just don't know how to make them any more. When will we again see a "Serpico" or "French Connection"? I was absolutely appalled by the cartoon like performance of C. Thomas Howell. I wondered what happened to this promising actor and now I know...his was probably the goofiest part in the whole movie.

Well I guess that $3.00 wasn't too much to lose for this dreadful piece of dreck. After all, we had more than a few good laughs at the hammy acting and crappy sets.

I'm glad i saw this movie since it broadened my view on how to judge a good movie. This movie has all the right elements of being a good movie. Quite good actors (but not good in this movie), quite good budget, a good script pitch and so on.

It does however fail in the script section as well as in building the story. It takes unlikely turns and doesn't create the important trust between the storyteller and the viewer.

POSITIVE: The picture and environment was occasionally good. The main story pitch is good. The actors are usually good.

NEGATIVE: All the rest.

I found this movie a sad use of time and money so my advice is to invest your time otherwise.

Alison Eastwood is a solid B-list actress. She's not going to win any Oscars for this kind of work, but there's a reason she keeps getting hired. Quite simply, she brings home the bacon.

The reason the so-called occult mysticism is dropped early in the movie is explained quite clearly by the unfolding plot. There's a little celeb skin for those who go for that.

Judd Nelson's character is a non-entity who feeds the cops information; although it's the first time I've seen an FBI priest in a movie. I suspect actor John Rhys-Davies has fallen on hard times; this is not up to the A-list movie roles he has landed so far. He looks like he has lost a lot of weight in recent years; his character was believable, though somewhat thinly-spread (no pun intended).

It's a murder mystery, a serial killer movie, and has an interesting twist at the end. If you're hoping for the next Sixth Sense, don't bother. But if you like solid made-for-cable cop movies, it's entertaining.

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen:

bad acting

bad story

bad characters

even bad scenarios Did this movie went to the cinemas? If it did... I would want to be the poor guy who payed ticket Not even the sex scene (which appeared out of nowhere) was not worthy of special attention

Does anybody know Carol O'Connell? She's a great new york writer. I've any of her books is transformed into movies. See it, it can only be amazing. And please mail me if u know anything
