A Strange  Film

.

What do you call it when some one hit the lottery, do you call them lucky or how about when someone just survives a deadly car accident are they Lucky? Or are they blessed. That guy or girl you pass by on the street and you two bump into each other was that by accident or did fate destined for you two to meet. That the question asks in Angel Eyes. 

The story centers on two strangers first a cop name Sharon Pogue (Jlow or Jennifer Lopez) who is a very tough and doesn’t take crap from anyone (my type of women), who is assigned to a high crime district in the south side of Chicago. 

The other is Catch (Jim Caviezel) an odd but harmless loner who will help you if you need help, but he has some inner secrets. The two cross paths under life threatening circumstances as fate destined for them to meet. As the two falls in love they will discover each other secrets and be forced to deal with the stuff from there past as there life together is just beginning. 

If I could describe Angel Eyes in one word it would be Strange. Here are some good and bad points. 

Good

1. Once I got the premise of the film it was ok. Granted we have seen it many times before.
2. The cast was good. My opinion Jlow is becoming a very good actress.
3. The Ending was good.

Bad

1. To get the idea of the film you have to wait over a hour. It’s drags a lot, but it the kind of dragging that it not boring but it makes you wonder what the film is about.
2. There is one big mistake. In the film Jennifer get shot and when she check herself the bruise from the gunshot is at a different side of her chest and in the next scene it at the right place.
