Editorial Review:
Starring Academy AwardÂ(r) winner* Mira Sorvino and Olivier Martinez, Angel of Deathtakes you into the depths of Holy Week and the most spectacular Easter celebration in the world. But as hosts of hooded penitents parade through the ancient, narrow streets of an old town in time-honored ritual, a series of bizarre ritual killings follow their path. As the death toll mounts, it falls to detective Maria Delgado to stop the predator - before he claims his next victim. *1995: Supporting Actress, Mighty Aphrodite
Angel of Death Reviews:
No One Expects A Spanish Inquisition... 
2009-07-10 - A killer is loose in Saville, Spain. He's hard to spot, due to his ingenius red robe / pointy hat disguise. He blends into the easter celebration crowd, where several of the devoted also wear the same religious attire. An almost life-like cop named Maria (Mira "I really did win an oscar® you know!" Sorvino) must stay awake long enough to earn her paycheck...er, catch the murderer. The first 40+ minutes of ANGEL OF DEATH are nearly insufferable. Like being waterboarded w/ jell-o. Sorvino drifts from scene to scene, bravely holding back the yawns that must have been fighting for release. Now, I know this gal can act (she was fantastic in MIMIC). What happened?? The rest of the cast seem furious about their being involved w/ this putrid project. Olivier Martinez's angry, chauvanistic character is so overblown and annoying that I wanted to whip him w/ a bundle of porcupines! Amazingly, the movie actually gets better in the second half, but by then I was numb and could not feel my legs. On the brighter side, the great Alida Valli (Suspiria, The Antichrist) is brilliant, and tries to give the rest of the crew a crash-course in acting, but alas, her time is wasted...
Great 
2009-05-26 - Great I liked It so much I had forgotten that I had already bought it so I gave It as a gift.
Angel of Death DVD
2008-08-10 - Fine mystery movie DVD from a VERY fine and speed seller who rates triple A+++.
I wanted to give it a chance... 
2008-01-02 - I really wanted to give this movie a chance, because I am a Olivier Martinez fan, and speaking of him specifically, and not really the movie, he didn't have his usual French accent. I guess that's a small thing to focus on, but I ended up yelling at my tv screen for Olivier to bring back the French accent. And if you like his accent, which I do, he sounds like a completely different person, and not in a good way, I hate to admit. It's an awful movie, I hate to say, there's no positive spin I can put on it. There is one cute line that Olivier says, and it's funny but, I can't remember what it is, I guess that should be an indication of how awful this movie is.
An hour and a 1/2 that I will never get back!!!!
2005-12-17 - Well, I have officially just wasted an hour and a 1/2 of my life on a movie that is quite possibly the worst I have ever seen. Do not waste your hard earned money on this sorry excuse for entertainment. It was horrible!!! Even with the hottie from Unfaithful, it wasn't worth it. Do yourself a favor, and pass this one up!
