"El Ángel" is a Biography - Drama movie in which we watch a 17-year-old teenager trying to find his place in the world but his life choices change his routine and his life in general very much.
I found this movie interesting but it lacked on action and in some moments it became a bit boring. The plot was simple but good enough to keep the audience attention while the direction which was made by Luis Ortega was equally good but with no surprises. The interpretation of Lorenzo Ferro who played as Carlos was very good and he made the difference. In conclusion, I have to say that "El Ángel" is a nice drama movie to spend your time with but do not expect more from that because I am sure that you will be disappointed.

A cracking movie. Almost unbelievable that it's a loosely based biographical account of a real psychopath. Ferro as the evil angelic killer is superb. The sets, costumes, cinematography are all top drawer and add to the crazed nature of the movie. You feel that you are actually in his head.
The casual murders are chilling in their understatement. The sexual subtext bubbles underneath the entire journey but never intrudes.
This is a stylish, clever and very absorbing insight into a psychotic killer's mind.
Wow!

First of all, the film is very good if we talk about filmmaking. It is slow, and somehow this Works against. The acting is amazing, every actor is wonderfull. But come on...we know who this serial killer was, in this film he is too humorous and funny....couldn't accept this aspect of the film.
Watched this last night - absolutely stunningly directed, filmed and terrific acting, I found. Struggled a bit with the Argentinian Spanish and was very thankful for the English subtitles. :)
I'd love to hear from the people who are responsible for the comparatively poor rating (if I give it 10 and it sits on 6.8 there must be a few fairly poor votes) what they didn't like about it.

Fotografía, dirección, música, actuaciones, personajes. Altamente recomendable
