Angel Heart Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Alan Parker
Genres: Mystery
Rating:
The time is the 1950s: seedy Brooklyn private eye Harry Angel (Mickey_Rourke) is hired by shady Louis Cyphre (Robert_De_Niro) to locate a pop singer who reneged on a debt. Harry ventures into Harlem, the first step of a -Heart of Darkness-inspired odyssey. Each time Harry makes contact with someone who might know the singer's whereabouts, he or she is killed in a horrible, ritualistic fashion; a Satanic cult seems to be at the bottom of all the carnage. Harry solves the mystery, all right. He just didn't know that he had the answer all along -- even before Louis entered his office. Also available in the "unrated" video version, Angel Heart is best known as the film that nearly got an X-rating due to a no-holds-barred sex scene involving Mickey_Rourke and Lisa_Bonet.
