ericerd2 I can't believe the positive reviews of this movie - I thought it was one of the worst, most poorly executed and poorly acted movies I have ever seen. And the plot was completely ludicrous (sp?). She starts making out with him while he's tied to the chair? puh-lease. The worst part was that it wasn't even bad in a good, laughable way. Just plain terrible - I couldn't figure out why they even bothered to show it on HBO. I thought Belushi was ridiculously silly - very unbelievable as an "eccentric" hit man. idk, I could go on - again, I am shocked by the positive reviews. The only thing that kept me watching it is that it's fascinating to see how a movie can go wrong and what makes it bad. And the ending didn't disappoint in its silliness either! "live by the sword, die by the sword..." ridiculous.

George Parker "Angel's Dance" features Belushi as the hitman's guru who tests a young protege with an assignment to "hit" a beautiful but freaky woman, Angel (Lee), selected at random. Both get more than they bargained for in this darkish comedy with some action and lots of quirky humor. The film is fresh in the beginning, languishes in the middle, and pulls itself together in the end making for a lukewarm watch overall with some deliciously sardonic tongue-in-cheek humor. An okay small screen watch for channel surfers looking for comedy/action.

madseason106 I'll be honest- the reason I rented this movie was because I am a huge fan of Kyle Chandler's (most notably from Early Edition). Since he usually plays the good guy, I wanted to see him as in a different role (out of curiosity). The plot itself also drew me in; a wanna-be hitman (Tony Greco- a.k.a. Mr. Chandler) must kill a person at random before he is trusted with the life- or, rather, the death- of a witness who will testify against someone in "the family". The movies was nothing like I expected. It was sick, I hated the end (if you saw it, you'd know why), and there were so many unnecessary parts. Basically- it was filthy, and made little sense. Yes, it was a mob movie, and yes the guns do go BOOM. But there's more to a movie than that. This film acted as if it didn't have the time to go into detail- just deal with it and understand it. The acting really made up for it- James Belushi was pretty amusing as "The Rose". Sheryl Lee made Angel seem as believable as she could get. She surprised me the most. And Kyle Chandler was equally convincing as an anxious newcomer to "the family". If only the script did justice to the actors.

critic2-2 Sheryl Lee carries the first few minutes of this movie.Her character is a rather strange young lady. ( Angel ) When James Belushi ( The Rose ) shows up things really get started.The hitman training is strange to say the least, I guess most of us just don't think like that, and the characters all change though-out this movie. Sheryl Lee & James Belushi are both great in this movie. Maybe there should be a sequel The Angel & The Rose it might be interesting,A well done mob Hitman action flick.
