Black Angel, or Kuro no tenshi vol 1 if you like the original title better, is a good movie. DVD purists will complain about the cheap audiotrack, but really, I’ve seen things on VHS so it doesn’t bother me.

The movie is at times the standard you killed my father story, but it spins up and down and there’s a lot more to it than that. There’s a magnificent scene in a hotel room that would have been out of place in any other movie, but here it fits perfectly.

Since it’s Japanese, it does have other things than gunfights or non-stop action that’s pointless. It’s not a hack piece signed John Woo where the mediocrity is hidden behind Chow-Yun Fats coolness. But it is kind of violent at times though.

Oh, and I haven’t mentioned the run-though-the-hallway-scene. Eight minute oner tension. It’s ‘mazing.
