Roger Ebert
Angel Heart is a thriller and a horror movie, but most of all it's an exuberant exercise in style, in which Parker and his actors have fun taking it to the limit.

Angel Heart
Down-and-out private detective Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) is ordered by the mysterious Louis Cyphre (Robert De Niro) to go on a mission to find a missing person in this pyschological horror from Alan Parker. Angel's routine failure soon leads to a bloody spar with himself, as he goes on a supernatural journey into his own soul.

This is Mickey Rourke's movie, and he puts in a mesmerising performance. It's a desperate shame that he subsequently descended into so many poor films. This remains his moment of triumph, and if you haven't seen it, you're in for a treat.
