I could not believe how bad this movie was, I was really looking forward to it because i am a big fan of Wim Wender's movies like "Paris,Texas", "Hammett" and "Don't Come Kmocking". I read all the reviews on this site calling it one of the greatest movies of all time but i cannot disagree more with these reviews. I was bored out of my mind in this movie and could not wait for it to end and it is way too long at two hours. I could really care less about the angel or any of the characters in this movie and I didn't care what happened to these characters. This movie was a huge disappointment because i'm a big Wim Wenders fan and this movie is almost as bad as "The Million Dollar Hotel."

This is a very underrated movie and belongs up there with some of Francis Ford Coppola's best movies. The movie has a great cast that includes James Caan, Anjelica Huston, James Earl Jones, Dean Stockwell and several more people. Caan plays a solider who fought in Korea and Vietnam but is now in charge of Arlington national Cemetery and wants to train young soldiers going into Vietnam but is turned down. Huston is Caan's girlfriend and Jones is his friend who fought with him in Vietnam and now serves with him. Stockwell is the man in charge and D.B. Sweeney is a young soldier who can't wait to get to Vietnam. It's a really great movie that is one of Coppola's best films.

I had wanted to see this movie for such a long time and i was not disappointed when i finally saw it. It's a little known movie about a 13 year old Jodie Foster who moves into a new house with her father but the father never seems to be home. Alexis Smith is the landlady and Martin Sheen is her son who also happens to be a pervert who has an interest in Foster. Scott Jacoby is the son of a local cop and Foster's only friend in town. Smith keeps wondering why Foster isn't in school and why the father isn't home and why Foster won't let her into the basement. There are several murders in the movie and Foster does a great job in this great movie.
