For me, Alan Parker always used to be one of the most genius directors ever as Parker can create atmospheres like no one else can... "Angel heart" featuring Mickey O'Rourke and the as always godlike Robert De Niro is one of the more difficult movies from Parker. Rourke plays the jobless detective Angel who is hired by a man called Louis Cyphre (=Lucifer) who wants to know if a crooner is still alive or not. Little by little Angel is involved in a web in where black magic rules and the VCR might be the perfect tool to investigate some difficult parts (as all by all this movie ain't easy) but the end clears a lot... Not Parker's best one therefore the cinematographic arts are just a bit too aged but still an enjoyable movie and I am sure that from now on you will look at De Niro's fingernails in every movies you'll see by him....
