The Lost Angel :
A serial killer... with a sadistic taste for blood.
ONE SACRIFICE A DAY FOR TWENTY DAYS...
Inspector Billie Palmer is a policewoman assigned to a special crimes task force. She's got a lot of problems. While on the trail of a serial killer who leaves messages in cuneiform, she wounds a suspect in self-defense and becomes the object of an Internal Affairs witch-hunt. Traumatized by having to watch the murder of her mother, she is obsessed with the safety of her teenage sister, who herself has become the target for revenge against Billie. Meanwhile the ongoing serial killings make Billie the object of the media bloodhounds that wonder why she can't catch the killer.
Eric: Hi Bell, great to see ya here.
Belladonna: Hi Eric, it's good to be able to be here tonight.
Eric: Good, we had a great movie to watch.
Belladonna: I would have to agree with you there.
Eric: The opening scene with the comment of "drop the match" was little stupid, with all the gasoline poured out.
Belladonna: I thought so, you would think that they would've been able to smell the gasoline and realized that “Hey maybe this isn't such a smart idea".
Eric: LOL, no kidding. that aside, what did you think of it?
Belladonna: I thought it was a pretty good movie. Just when you "thought" you knew who did it, it took a bizarre twist to show you, you were wrong.
Eric: That's true, I was thinking the Catholic Father did it. But it had over 3 twists to it.
Belladonna: I know the feeling. I was thinking at one point, maybe it was Bobbie the female cop.
Eric: Good point, she had some flash backs that was hard core, and that's why the Internal Affairs got involved.
Belladonna: Can you blame her? She had gone through so much, and had her own internal guilt, it had to have been eating at her for a long time.
Eric: True, and what she went through as a child, I'm surprised at alot she didn't do.
Belladonna: I thought she would've taken it to even more extremes than what they did in the movie. I'm not so sure I could've been that calm in those situations.
Eric: Me either, and how about the Cop/Priest ?
Belladonna: That's what was a bit hard to swallow. How does a man of the cloth keep his vows as a priest and still be able to do his job a cop ? Wouldn't that be considered a "conflict of interest"? I would think it would be.
Eric: I agree, but we can't divulge any further, the movie would be Moot if we did.
Belladonna: Agreed. I would definitely recommend it . It did have its areas that the movie would've been better without. But then again what movie doesn't have at least one thing most people think can or should be removed?
Eric: ok, so what did you think about the movie overall?
Belladonna: I thought it was overall a very good movie and would
definitely recommend it to your viewers. It turned out to be a
better movie than what I was originally figuring on.
Belladonna: I think that the producers did a good job with this one
and didn't go to the incomprehensible aspect of it like they have
with so many other movies. If I were to go on a 1-5 scale for rating I would give
it 4.5 stars.
Eric: ok, and I can agree on that also, most of these type movies
usually give away the perpatraitor in the first 15 minutes, or I
usually figure it out myself.
Eric: But, this one had me confused for the whole movie.
Eric: Then It dawned on me, who the killer was around 15 minutes
before the ending when it all came to light.
Eric: It was an AMAZING movie and I loved it. A complete must see
in my book, and I rate it 4.8 for being deceiving, and not giving
the bad guy away so early.
Eric: Any further comments before we close for the night?
Belladonna: Not really EXCEPT that I will agree it is a MUST see
movie. I want to thank you for having me here tonight to help review
this movie.
Eric: Your welcome, and thank you for your time. I'll see you next month for another "Reel Review"
Belladonna: Ok Im looking forward to it.
Eric: ok, good night Bell
Belladonna: Good night Eric
