Angel Eyes

2001 Mystery & Suspense

Jennifer Lopez stars in this gritty, emotional drama as police officer Sharon Pogue, who covers up a painful past with an anger that fuels her job performance in one of Chicago's toughest precincts. Although her partner Robby (Terrence Howard) is concerned about Sharon, she won't confide even in her closest friend. Sharon's life takes a turn, however, when she's saved from a violent assault by Catch Lambert (James Caviezel), a haunted, enigmatic do-gooder whose guardian-angel deeds make him a hero to some, like disabled shut-in Elanora Davis (Shirley Knight). Sharon becomes romantically involved with Catch, with whom she has more in common than she imagines, as Catch is also tortured by a painful, traumatic event from his past. Angel Eyes, which is directed by Luis Mandoki and written by Gerald DiPego, co-stars Sonia Braga, Alfonso Arau, Jeremy Sisto, and Victor Argo. more..

Reviews

  • A surprisingly effective film.

    Roger Ebert - The Chicago Sun-Times

  • Angel Eyes is the rare film that presents a family dynamic as demented as ones we know from life.

    Mick LaSalle - The San Francisco Chronicle

  • Lopez is not yet the actor Caviezel is. Still, she fills her performance with conviction, does a couple of her own stunts, and has enough star presence to fill the big screen.

  • A wisp of ghost story that promises insight but is strictly soft focus.

  • Shot in Chicago, this is a picture that looks better than it sounds and is made much better than it deserves to be.
