The good: a terrific bunch of actors, with Alan Parker directing. I was all in for this movie. BUT I remembered (having seen it decades ago) that something was wrong with this movie and after half an hour I noticed what the problem was...
The bad: the story is gibbledigook nonsensical. Now there are a lot of stories that dont make sense, but still do thrill or mesmirize, but none of that...
It supposedly is a DEEP and MYSTERIOUS story about the devil, but it ended up flexing my laughing muscles, because it all looked SO SILLY while it was definitely meant to be taken very seriously.
All these terrific actors and the wonderful director Alan Parker as well, all have made several terrific movie classics before and after this movie, but Angel Heart was definitely a flop at the boxoffice and for good reasons...
