Angel Eyes
Solemn Chicago cop soap opera starring J. Lo.

Tweet

Plot
A haunted stranger falls for the tough Chicago cop who saved his life a year before.

Review
Chicago cop Sharon (Lopez), estranged from most of her family because she once booked her dad as a wife-beater, is saved from an on-the-job death by mysterious wanderer Catch (Caviezel) and drawn into a strange almost-relationship with the man, whom she doesn't realise she's met before at the site of a life-changing road accident.

Opening as if it might develop into a cat-and-mouse psycho-thriller, this turns into a very solemn soap opera in which the protagonists have to confront their demons before they can get together. Lopez makes an Oscar bid by taking a complex role tailored to her abilities, but the film as a whole is so badly fumbled that her hopes of securing a statuette are severely compromised.

Sharon Pogue (Jennifer Lopez) is a tough Chicago cop who is feeling alone in the world. She's good in her job but doesn't like talking about it to prospective partners. Catch (Jim Caviezel) is also a loner, wandering the streets helping people. He saves Sharon from being shot, and this is the beginning of a very strange relationship. Catch lives in an empty flat while Sharon refuses to ask for a date without doing it through an answer phone. The question is, why? Both people have pasts that a... More
