The Fourth Angel Reviews
Cheap and politically biased
It is very disturbing how moviemakers serve rotten political purposes. After the bombing of Serbia, the Serbs (old US and British allies from WWI and WWII) are suddenly the "bad guys". The name Karadan Maldic obviously hints at the Bosnian Serbs Radovan Karadzic and Radko Mladic. This is a direct insinuation. What a pity to see prominent actors as Jeremy Irons sell themselves so cheap. Jack wants to ensure justice for his family, but he does big injustice to a whole nation.
JEREMY BOND?
THE FOURTH ANGEL is a slow-moving, cerebral movie, which features Oscar winner Jeremy Irons as an avenging angel. While one can certainly sympathize with this journalist who loses a wife and two daughters to terrorists, it's hard to accept the stoic Irons in this action hero role. Director John Irvin (Ghost Story) keeps the pace efficient, but the movie loses a lot of its punch on a convoluted and sometimes hard to follow script. Forrest Whitaker uses his nice guy persona to efficiently play an FBI agent who ends up helping Irons in his quest for justice, and Jason Priestley flashes his blue eyes convincingly as an arrogant CIA agent, and we even have Charlotte Rampling in a basically useless role. Overall, though competent filmmaking is evidenced, the casting of Irons stretched my credibility a little too much.
