Reviews

esouthmayd-998-557152 There is no accounting for taste and yes, a movie has to entertain first or not much is happening for the viewer, but one has to wonder about the general sensitivity of some of these negative reviews after watching the quality of acting and the story unfolding in Bright Angel. You generally don't find the quality of cast throughout found here (although it's surprising how many mediocre films Sam Shepard has managed to make). I found the movie believable and based on the reality of the hardscrabble life surrounding the oil fields of Wyoming and Billings, Montana where it was filmed. It's an evocative piece of film and very well directed.

George Parker "Bright Angel" tells of a young Montana man (Mulroney) and a young Canadian woman (Taylor) who end up on a road trip together. A plodding, tedious film, "Bright Angel" is full of characters who range from a little weird to very weird and who seem to be necessary to maintain audience interest in the absence of a story. A plotless and disappointing film which manages to do very little with a whole lot of talent, this flick is not likely to receive good reviews from the board of tourism for big sky country and will be easily forgotten by the public in general.

Albatross42 This was one of the most worthless movies I have ever seen. The acting was bad, the plot was worse, and the script was pathetic. The only thing remotely interesting was beautiful Lili Taylor. Too bad she was in such a dog of a movie.

Jodie-4 Congrats, this was the worst movie I was ever unfortunate enough to see (and I've seen a lot). Acting sucked, script sucked, and if there had BEEN a plot that would have sucked too. I don't blame the actors, they didn't have much to work with. This just stumbled into every single trap it could have stumbled into. The kicker? The *ending*...what the hell was that?
