Angel Eyes

Angel Eyes (2001) starring Jennifer Lopez, Jim Caviezel, Terrence Howard, Sonia Braga, Jeremy Sisto. A female cop who is estranged from her family (Lopez) runs into a lost soul (Caviezel) who is trying to recover from his own tragedy. They make an odd couple, but eventually it is revealed that they have a connection that brings them together. There's not much original or new in this movie, which has the feel of a TV movie of the week. There are a few nice scenes, and no really big blunders in the story-telling, so it makes a pretty watchable evening of entertainment. Lopez looks a little strange with blond hair, but Caviezel fits comfortably into his part and the viewer can't help but root for them to work things out. (The subtitles are very good, with both English and French available, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B
