Starts as a detective story Ends up being a descent into hell
Angel Heart blew my mind when it came out in 1987. It even inspired me to read the book that it was based upon. It is a story posing as a crime-detective drama, which is really a descent into pure evil.<br /><br />The setting is 1955 where Louis Cyphre (Robert De Niro) hires private detective Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) to find a former singer named Johnny Favorite. As soon as he starts on the case things begin to get weird. He hears voices in the air, the same tune on the piano gets replayed in the background over and over, and he keeps seeing a vision of an elevator. More importantly every person he talks to ends up getting killed. His investigation leads him to New Orleans where the plot thickens and more importantly gets weirder. Angel finds out that Favorite was involved in the occult, he ends up with a lover Epiphany (Lisa Bonet), and more dead bodies appear. When he ultimately solves the case it will shock you. If you watch the movie a second time you will catch a lot of foreshadowing hinting at the conclusion.<br /><br />I don’t want to give any spoilers but this is an amazing film. When you see it, it will stick with you, and make you think of the story over and over. It begins like a detective case and then goes deeper and deeper into death, depravity, and a kind of hell. There are hints of Film Noir in the story as well. Rourke of course is a detective which was used throughout the genre. He is also a man up against the odds, although the ones he is facing no Noir character ever had to go up against.<br />C
