I know that many of you will disagree with the rating of this movie, but I think it is fucking awesome. This is a perfect example of how lack of money pushes director and crew into innovative, original and above all visually stunning solutions. This movie is filled with them, using the noir vibe extensively and mixing it with great and highly involving story it proves that there are still talented people out there. You might compare this flick with the newer version Legion, but you will see that Gabriel still puts up a good fight visually and story-wise. The story is set in a dark city, filled with sin and debauchery. In this purgatory archangels and the fallen ones fight for the human souls. At the time of the Gabriels arrival the darkness has taken entire city. The rest of the archangels are scared and they have gone underground in fear for their lives. It is up to him to try to unite them, and destroy the darkness that have shrouded the city. Of course there are some lame scenes and aspects of the flick (like the overused eyes thing) but they all fade when you look at the big picture. Enjoy.
