Angels Fall (2007) Reviews
above-average thriller
Heather Locklear gives a benevolent performance in Angels Fall, which premiered on Lifetime tonight. The story goes like this: After her car breaks down in a Wyoming town, Reese (Locklear) takes a job in a diner to make ends meet. Meanwhile, many of the locals pry into her past and learn she previously witnessed a shooting in Boston. When Reese sees what she believes is a murder, her credibility is called into question on account of her past. Locklear shines here, and she is absolutely beautiful (has she ever had a bad hair day?!). Hunky Johnathon Schaech does a nice job. Competent actors, beautiful locations, professional cinematography, effective score and a solid story, make for an above-average thriller in Norah Robert's Angels Fall. Recommended. 9/10
Suspense involving "woman with a tragic past"
This movie had many of the elements I love in a television film: suspense, intrigue, romance and, believe it or not, location. There were plenty of all in this film. I have never been much of a Heather Locklear fan, but she shined in this film. It opened in a beautiful Wyoming town (whose location was actually the picturesque Alberta, Canada). She appears a bit distraught and nervous as her car breaks down in the town of Angels Fall. As she has a professional culinary background, as well as a need to pay her bills, she immediately procures a job as a cook at the local diner. Her delicious cooking, as well as her mysterious past, quickly make her a town favorite and a subject of gossip. Jonathon Schaech plays a brooding writer who has recently relocated to the town. His initial demeanor, which could be interpreted as menacing, quickly turns to friendship, then romance with Locklear. After she witnesses a murder in the forest and the authorities find no evidence, there are rumors her mental state is deteriorating, compounded by a tragic event in her past. Schaech's character is her only champion, sleuthing the murder with her as well as helping her keep a grip on her sanity.
OK book adaptation - movie lacks heart
OK book adaptation - acting was fine but the movie storyline was very choppy and didn't allow for real character development. Although I like Heather Locklear, I would not have cast her in this role. In the novel, Reese is a brunette in her late 20's - a Rachel McAdams-type would have better suited the part. Jonathan Schaech was decent as Brody but again the lack of character development leaves you not really caring about anybody in this movie. Overall the movie leaves out some of the best climax moments in the book and the moments that are captured in the movie seem forced and over the top. Where Nora Roberts' novel draws the reader in with realized characters and steady plot flow, this movie speeds through this sleepy Wyoming town barely giving you a real glimpse into the story itself.
yet another Crest commercial
where the faces are different, but the underlying message is still the same. This is a brand-new movie, and yet I've seen it a thousand times before. The last fifteen minutes of it are as predictable as a sunrise, right from the opening credits. Can the Hollywood producers not come up with a different idea, a new ending for their so called "thriller"s? Do they still believe that this type of ending has any thrill at all, when it's been done so many times? I'm not familiar with Nora Roberts as a writer, but this looks like it could well have been written by Mary Higgins Clark, or by me, for that matter. I wouldn't rate this higher than 4 on the Richter scale.
Well Done
I have long been a fan of Nora Roberts, but never had the chance to see any of her work retold in a movie. It was definitely worth the wait. I don't think the plot was altered all that much from how the story was originally told, although there were some things added or changed a bit to throw suspicion around. The parts that were cut from the story(understandably) did not detract from the movie version - both were excellent. I could identify with both of the lead actors as playing their characters straight from the book. Johnathon Schaech was especially good as Brody and was well matched with Heather Locklear as Reese. The other characters fit in almost as well, with some minor differences that I had pictured in my mind. But, of course, everyone sees things a bit differently. I hope the next three movies are done as well as this one was.
