"I know who I am!"Its post war America and Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke), is a private investigator hired by the mysterious Louis Cyphre (Robert De Niro) on a missing persons case. Cyphre wants Angel to track down a singer called Johnny Favorite who disappeared a number of years earlier. Angel's search takes him down some dark paths and into the world of witchcraft and voodoo, guided in part by Epiphany (Lisa Bonet). Something tells me that Angel won't like where he's going.
A would be film noir, that you've probably already figured out, but sometimes its all in the journey, rather than the arrival that counts, and this film is a case in point. An enjoyable entertainment, steeped in atmosphere.
