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. A... read more read more...lthough 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. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

    A truly terrible movie in every sense, it had no idea what it wanted to say or why it existed. The sci-fi element just came out of nowhere and felt extremely odd. The performances were terrible, Jim Caviezel and Jennifer Lopez had zero chemistry and couldn't survive on their own ... read moreeither. It's ultimately a love story that no one wants to see.

    I've always thought J.Lo decent as an actress and here, she delivers a nuanced performance evincing the struggle of a woman who tries to be tough on the outside but still crumbles on the inside. Caviezel is amazing, as per usual. Lovely trumpet playing too. Some really nice fl... read moreashback editing and aphorisms in the script.

    I thought that the movie started a bit too slowly, but it did gain a nice bit of momentum as it progressed. Jennifer Lopez portrays Sharon Pogue, a tough talking Chicago cop who is torn by her damaged relationships with her family and ends up falling for a guy who saves her life.... read more She becomes obsessed with trying to discover his secrets, and, in turn, learns acceptance and together, they battle their inner demons. Jim Caviezel is excellent, as always. He is a gorgeous man; startlingly in touch with the emotions and depth of feeling his character required. As for the movie itself, it has nothing new or interesting to offer, and its "twists" are only in the minds of the screenwriters. This is a romantic drama about two people who learn how to trust each other and themselves cope with their past and take the risk of a new start. Worth looking at least once in your lifetime!

    It's easy to see how this movie flopped, I mean how the hell do you market it? It's an Emotional Romance with a smattering of Thriller. It's also very good and probably the best I've ever seen Jennifer Lopez - so good in fact that I'll stop referring to her as J-Lo from now. Jim ... read moreCaviezel is good at playing characters with more going on beneath the surface, and the chemistry between the two of them works wonderfully. It's a love story with hurdles - the best kind.

    Not bad flick featuring Jim CAveizel

    A personal favorite.

    Coming at the peak of J-Lo's pre-Gigli fame, the plot point for this film seems awfully, awfully weak. It was this film and a few others (Gigli) that signalled the end of that fame. When she disappeared to plop out kids with Marc Anthony she all but assured that no one would ever... read more give a rat's tail about her ever again. Awesome!

    Why does Lopez keep getting work in Hollywood she has only been in one good movie "Out of Sight" and she was the weakest link in that film.

Peter Rainer, New York Magazine

Together, Lopez and Caviezel make quite a pair. Sorrowful yet hip, they seem to be inventing a new mood: designer melancholia. Full Review

Jonathan Foreman, New York Post

Its protagonists, their situation and its mechanical but mushy resolution are never remotely believable.

Robert Koehler

Robert Koehler, Variety

Darts back and forth from being a psychological thriller to a vaguely metaphysical drama to a fate-driven romance. Such a schema may, in the right hands, make for a powerful, all-seeing movie; here, i... Full Review

The movie works because Lopez gives such a terrific performance. Full Review

Mandoki doesn't have anything new to contribute to this puree of genres. Full Review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Director Luis Mandoki lets another film drown in the tear-jerker tide.

A tearjerking romantic confection that ... is only partially digestible. Full Review

Angel Eyes can be downright silly, like when a moony Lopez pieces together the dandelion puffball that Caviezel gave her days ago. Just like the movie, it irretrievably falls apart. Full Review

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

Angel Eyes is really nothing more than a love story between two people who could save a lot of money by moving in together. Full Review

Mick LaSalle

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

A well-acted character study of a hardworking woman, by a screenwriter (Gerald DiPego) and a director with enough integrity to dispense with the usual Hollywood distractions. Full Review
