Angel Heart (1987)
This movie is described as horror, but there is nothing remotely scary about it. In fact, there's nothing that resembles a horror film at all. I'm all about playing with the conventions of a genre, but it has be recognizable as that genre if you want it to work. This is from before Mickey Rourke let his career die and rot for twenty years and it barely even looks like the same person. In fact, in this he looks more like Bruce Willis than anything else. Either way, he was not impressive and neither was the movie itself. The twist at the end made it marginally interesting, but it's certainly nothing new.
My Netflix rating: 2 stars
