Console best movie i've ever seen.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

twomainiacs This was a great movie in all aspects. I only give a 10 when I know we will watch it again....and we will. Jennifer Lopez and Jim Caviezel are just so matched for their roles. Jennifer is hard...as nails. Her body is toned to match her ferocity. You gotta admire her character. Jim Caviezel simply captivates one as a person who could command any role he wanted to. The man is amazing, especially since he seems to have very limited emotional variations no matter what character he opts to play. They story is so believable that is causes one to go back and rev up the popcorn to watch it again. One thing that I might mention (as I so often have) is that it isn't a great idea to read the reviewers BEFORE watching the movie. One tends to impose other peoples impressions into the film. Therefore, one is not watching it for the joy of the show, but rather, to critique it based on others viewpoints. Bad idea especially for a great movie hopefully you are about to watch. Role the projector, Sam.....Q(:-}

sammy105 Out of all the JLo movies made so far, this is the only one that seems to... dig deeper than the surface of human emotions. The writer, and maybe the director, must've had more than a vague idea of where they were going with this film. Some scenes cause me to tear up, which is a rare commodity for any simple romance made in the last... 10 years.Jennifer Lopez is asked to play more here than the typical pretty girl who makes her way up, in one way or other, like the movies she normally lands. This took quite a bit of insight and understanding on her part, possible even an emotional connection to the movie to nail the part. Keeping all that in mind, the male main character seemed to get an even better idea of what's asked of him. The way he carried himself was almost dead-on, though possibly even overdone at times (but I blame the director for that).That said, what worked even more is the chemistry the two had going on. Never before have I seen Lopez's eyes light up the way they did with James. It seemed like they'd truly sunk into their roles, and the interaction between them felt chillingly real.What was truly underdone, however, is the family abuse issues that Lopez's character's family was going through all through the plot. This didn't seem like a movie about civil issues, and therefore the parts where they went into detail about family violence seemed a bit... off- the-wall to me. At the very least, if there was a serious connection between violence and maybe the reason Sharon became a cop in the first place, they sure failed to show it.This movie, hands down, I believe, needed more insight and more beyond-the-surface conversations. It needed less words and more visuals. It was mostly well-written, but needed some touch-ups. The transition of Catch from his old life to the estranged new one was very meekly done. There could've been more about his family, how good a father he was could've been shown, even in flashbacks. More details for the backgrounds of both characters could be in order.But mostly, though this film is very underdone, and some parts made me laugh at them more than with them, I end up seeing it again and again, and it still acts as a tear jerker to me. I'll say it again - Lopez seemed to find herself in the right place here, where much more than her natural charm was put to the test. Give this movie a try, it's.. not like the rest, not like many movies made today.

Sherparsa couldn't agree more with Jugu Abraham (jugu_abraham@yahoo.co.uk)'s comments on this movie!especially when Jugu talks about the movie business 'handling' a modest yet good movie like this, or Jennifer Lopez's 'true acting' in so "Razzie" a manner!? (sure JL's face has some kind of a smile on it often times that doesn't quite go with a sad moment, but hey, that's her natural looks after all! many people are like that ...)well, what better can we expect of the "paparazzi / tabloid" movie industry of Hollywood and its mostly pseudo-intellectual elite? (for the most part though; otherwise, there is a reasonable deal of thoughtful stuff in Hollywood too to be fair.)yes, i think it is really tricky to tell a sentimental story without too sentimentally ruining it while at the same time delving deeper into people's minds and emotions. especially in movies. and this one has done a really good job indeed considering just that fact.and Jugu, you're so right; a movie can be so emotional, sexy, provocative even and all that without necessarily showing sex so directly. in fact, the Stephen-King-style psycho-analytical thriller cliché's and their so naive imitation clones in the last three decades or so, with all the torn apart and violent sex in so many mediocre movies post-'60s, blended with all the shoot 'em up / blast 'em off / kick their butts video games post-'70s, plus all the hype and superstition that is being fed to people in the name of "dooms day" SciFi (majority of them at least) have removed that soft and peaceful and humane experiences of life almost totally! ("Why does everybody have to rush things these days?" Catch'es MIL in the scene JL goes to talk to her about his past.) the 'blues café' scene is particularly good, with one of the best choices of old and forgotten yet so beautiful a melody that is so appropriate not only to the scene, but also to evoke emotions and memories many of us seem to have lost and forgotten ...(yes Ray Romano: we used to play the Love Story on our pianos at home in the not so distant past, didn't we? ... whatever became of that?) another part that is SO good by all standards, is when JL talks directly into the camera in the party scene. not only it is so innovative technically speaking, but it is to the point! a cliché' of our lives (recording our cliché' moments of life on video almost constantly) is broken, or put to good use to use a better term, in this particular section of the movie.there is action in this movie, there is adventure, there is drama, there is fun, there is even sex and violence and everything that the industry requires a "financially successful movie" to have, yet it is neither of them. it is just plain good stuff in here! there are great movies (in terms of production) that are seldom great. there are small movies (in terms of production) that are just so great in content and the effect they have on the viewer can last forever perhaps. this one is one of them: angel eyes."... it doesn't have to be perfect, it can be whatever it is!" - from the movie.

schofy I may be in the minority here, but I found this movie no better than your basic TV movie of the week. Jennifer Lopez seems to be under the impression that to come across as a hard cop with personal problems, the answer is to swear a lot. Jim Caviezel seems to wander through 2 thirds of the film like a cross between forest gump and rain man. If you want a weary romantic thriller without the thrills then this is the film for you. It ticks all the required boxes for a movie of the week....troubled cop..check,romantic loner...check,family that wont talk to cop...check,plenty of pouting...check and an end that will make one member of your house reach for the tissue box and the other the sick bucket.....as you can guess wife loved it.
