Argumento
¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesWriter and director Alan Parker claims that Robert De Niro's performance as Louis Cyphre was so eerie and realistic that he generally avoided him during his scenes, letting him just direct himself.
- PifiasIn New Orleans, there is a daybill ad for a drive-in movie theater posted on a mailbox, which advertises a showing of La sombra de un gigante (1966), released 11 years after the setting. The poster also features the Elvis film "Double Trouble" and the Waylon Jennings film "Nashville Rebel", both from the late 60s.
- Citas
Louis Cyphre: Alas... how terrible is wisdom when it brings no profit to the wise, Johnny?
- Créditos adicionalesAfter the end credits roll, you hear the whisper on a black screen, "Harry? Johnny?"
- Versiones alternativasA scene featuring Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonet having sex was slightly cut by around 10 secs before release in order to avoid a X rating. The European theatrical version and US video version restore the missing footage.

DVD Transfer Enhances This Sordid-But-Intriguing Movie
This is a very sordid film. I usually don't go for that sort of thing, but there are a lot of other good things about this movie that made me add this to my collection.
There is very good cinematography and camera-work in here, made even better by the special edition DVD transfer. I liked the old film-noir type atmosphere in the story, which is an interesting one overall.
There are no really good-guy characters in this film. Mickey Rourke plays the star of the movie: private eye "Harry Angel." He's somewhat of a low-life but so is everyone else. Lisa Bonet looks spectacular and has a steamy sex scene in here. Robert De Niro gets big billing but he doesn't have that many lines in this film.
The ending of this movie has a very unique twist to it, but it's certainly not a satisfying ending. It is one I should go back over after the next viewing and check for credibility. That's all I can say without using spoilers.
Overall, a sleazy but very intriguing story, with great atmosphere, that I enjoy watching every five years or so. Some would call this movie a modern-day "film noir."
