El aura (2005)
Unique Experience
Very refreshing and intriguing movie about an -nearly- ordinary person getting involved into a gangster business.
I love this movie. It is slow, but that just gives you the time to think "what would I do ?". Unique story, unique colors and pictures. Very good characters and actors. Just watch it if you can.
Angel Heart (1987)
Wasted Opportunity
The cinematography, the pictures, the sites, the atmosphere - very good. The story - good enough to make something memorable out of it.
But...The acting and directing is so poor. Mickey Rourke is such a "nothing". He is maybe handsome but you don't buy it in the movie. Cool ? Clever ? Emotional ? No, just nothing, no depth, no character, just a bum walking around. And that is the last thing such a story should do.
The directing - every time there is action I asked myself "why are they running around ?" You just don't buy it, like the whole story in total. And everything looks so unconnected. No depth creation for the main character is the most serious lack of the movie.
Can't keep wondering what David Fincher could have made out of it.
