Quotes:

John Reigart: Politics of Angels you see are not so very different from those of men. Both have rules to follow, codes of conduct, laws. Both for example have constraints regarding murder.And ways to get around those constraints.
Allison: Hired assassins.
John Reigart: But it would seem that the preferred option is no longer in play. You have in parlance of the CIA turned their chief asset. Your new friend: Dylan.

Movie Connections:

Follows The Prophecy (1995)

This and Uprising need to be seen back to back.

They were made back to back and are basically one story. Just told in two parts. One of the things I like about the post Christopher Walkin Prophecy movies is that they are not a replica of every other Stephen King inspired "Devil in our back yard" movies. I'm not saying that is bad. Its just over done. The antichrist is always in a medium sized American suburb with nice normal middle class parents. Its nice to see a more global perspective. Not everything happens in middle class America. The underlying question of these movies is whether there can be such a thing as blind faith. The devil puts it best by saying you always have to ask why. The movie is cool. It is spooky in a way. But it will not scare you. It isn't trying to. So if you are looking fora horror film this is not for you. I would still suggest you see it, just to realize that the subject of revelations isn't just there to scare us. It can inspire us too.
