Az '50-es évek füstös brooklyni világában élő kiégett magándetektív, Harry Angel egy titokzatos megbízótól, egy bizonyos Louis Cyphre-től azt a feladatot kapja, hogy keressen meg egy eltűnt énekest. Az eleinte rutinmunkának tűnő megbízatás hamarosan elképesztő rémálommá válik Harry számára. Mindenki, akivel Harry beszélt, akiről úgy tűnik, hogy bármit is tud az eltűnt énekesről, holtan bukkan fel. Kegyetlen, rituális gyilkosság áldozatai lesznek mindannyian, és a magándetektívben egyre erősödik a gyanú, hogy ezúttal nem egyszerű eltűnési esetről van szó, hanem egy sátánista szekta mozgatja a szálakat. De az is lehet, hogy valaki végig az orránál fogva vezette. Mire azonban Harry megfejti a rejtvényt, bejárja a pokol minden bugyrát. (Film Mánia)

The dark journey of the private eye to hell itself. Very atmospheric, dark and depressing, and I like that. Rourke gives the performance of his life and De Niro, although he only appears for a few minutes, convinces you with his long fingernails and demonic appearance that no one would be better suited to the role of Lou Cypher. All this in an audiovisual treat that literally gets under your skin.

Alan Parker lent his unmistakable, darkly depressing signature to the film, which is teeming with mysterious religious practices, strange deaths, and, last but not least, "strange" people. The rawness of the ritualistic murders, depicted without any sugarcoating, and sparing no artificial blood, is definitely not gratuitous but rather serves as a means to bring closure to the captivating plot for the audience. The film is filled with tension, captivation, and, last but not least, a "pleasant" surprise at the end. Mickey Rourke's striking performance unfortunately pales in comparison to the minimal yet emotionally powerful portrayal by Robert De Niro, who, with his full beard, long nails, hair in a bun, and a cane in hand, looks like... Unreserved satisfaction.

A good thriller that gets a mysterious touch in the middle and by the end slides into horror. The story is not exactly packed with action, it moves forward rather slowly to reveal a surprising twist at the end, and it is really surprising. Formally, I don’t think there’s anything to reproach, but the film didn’t win my heart because voodoo is a topic that I don’t care much for, and that prevents a full score.

The jazz-filled atmosphere of Noir York as a perfect introduction and the disturbing voodoo flood as a strongly negative contrast. With mysterious thrillers, I simply expect more balance, and the crescendoing punctuation, as impressive and perfectly precise as it may be, is not enough for me. The perfectly stylized depression loses narrowly to the unnecessarily overdone Louisiana. 70%

A Louisiana almost-noir, with a phenomenal De Niro. He is so precise in his role that you instantly know what’s going to happen. Even if you didn’t know what you were getting into in the first place, like me. After all, even the second part of the finale is pointlessly numbed by the insensitive use of flashbacks. The atmosphere of “the weird South" is of course executed flawlessly and Rourke… He is, as always, a story in himself.
