A story about a seemingly unlikely couple who cross paths under life-threatening circumstances as though they are destined not only to meet but to save each other's lives. Not once, but twice.

Reviews
Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
ilianag007 This is an excellent movie of grief, psychological suspense on how the mind can be, and how love can cure. Excellent performance by JLo but especially Caviezel. I do not want to give any spoilers but the plot it is not slow or fast, it is appropriate to the story. People handle grief differently and others can cope with those who mourn differently. Either patiently or they run to the next relationship. It was interesting to see how the beginning ties up with the end. How many times we may come across people that later on may mean something important in our life. Great movie and I found it with Spanish subtitles.
Melissa Mendelson The trials of our lives define us, but it could also break us apart. Moments in time are forever frozen, and our darkest hours never fade. And we could surrender, wander lost, but life would go on without us. And we would disappear, but if we fight to survive, overcome the hardest memories that wait to be confronted, we will find ourselves once again. And love would come and steal our heart, heal our pain, and close the door on a life no longer lived. And we could start over, a clean slate, and we become more defined. And it is inspiration that flows through powerful stories such as Angel Eyes that touches the fabric of our very lives.
ianlouisiana Ther are silly films,really silly films,and there is "Angel eyes". It is way too long,there is no performance strong enough to anchor it,there are very few believable characters.The exception being Mr Victor Argot as Miss Lopez's father,a small role with little dialogue but a first class example of how good actors can do "less is more". Miss Lopez herself is far from convincing as a Chicago cop I'm afraid. Too physically flawless to resemble a real human being,she would not survive ten minutes in the blisteringly macho world of the real thing. Mr Jim Cazaviel with doe eyes and designer stubble seems to have persuaded a lot of people that he has given a performance of great sensitivity,but I am not amongst them.He is not traumatised,rather he is catatonic. No one was more surprised than I when he sat in at a jazz club and played a version of "Nature Boy" that Jack Sheldon would have been proud of. The various sub - plots about domestic violence and guilt transference don't work and are merely tedious. Quite what the title refers to I am at a loss to explain.I thought originally it might be to the 1950s Matt Dennis song of that name but I was to be sadly disappointed. If you want to watch a movie about two miserable people who walk around with faces as long as a wet week in Southend "Angel Eyes" will hit the spot.It will make a change from listening to your Leonard Cohen CDs.
nick_elliston Saw this for the first time on a minor TV channel recently. Essentially a romantic film, and casting JL as a police officer may indicate that this is a police thriller, which it is not.It is fairly apparent at an early stage what Jim Cavaziel's past hides, and JL coming to terms with her past is the more complex aspect of the film.I can only recall seeing Jim Cavaziel in one other film (Thin Red Line) and his performance and character here is reminiscent of his character in TRL.Jennifer Lopez gives a fine performance. I have not seen her in many films, but she generally puts in a good performance. I think it is her choice of films which is suspect rather than her acting.I am not a fan of romantic films, but this one is different enough to make it worth watching.
