Editorial Review:
Angel Eyes is a mature and levelheaded drama about real people with authentic emotions, clawing through their own hurt and confusion toward a hopeful recovery. In a subtly effective performance as Chicago cop Sharon Pogue, Jennifer Lopez is both gutsy and vulnerable, using her badge as a shield against a past incident of domestic violence that left her estranged from her family and alone with her conviction that good deeds are not always rewarded. This leaves her open to the mysterious appeal of Catch (Jim Caviezel), a haunted loner whose slightly creepy demeanor is merely the cautious façade of a man who, ultimately, has as much to offer Sharon as she does to him. They connect--he saves her life, just as she had once saved his--and Angel Eyes proceeds to reveal the true and fateful depth of their love.
It seems, at first, that Gerald Di Pego's script will turn in a supernatural direction--or at least a metaphysical one--but it doesn't, and director Luis Mandoki navigates an emotional minefield while acknowledging the walls that people build between themselves and the traumatic events they wish to forget. Catch has kept a deliberate distance between himself and a tragedy that Sharon had witnessed--not a repressed nightmare, but a devastating loss from which he will, eventually, recover. That these two characters should rediscover each other at a time of mutual need is not a contrived coincidence. In Angel Eyes, it's the karmic redemption of two wise and deserving souls. --Jeff Shannon
After meeting under extraordinary life-and-death circumstances, a Chicago police officer (Lopez) and a lost soul named Catch (Caviezel) fall in love. While uncovering the truth about Catch, she is forced to deal with the secrets of her own past.

Rating:  - Don't Let Go!
After "catching" the last half-hour or so of this film on television a few weeks ago I picked up the DVD -- I love weepy stories with happy endings. Within 30 seconds of the opening titles, I was completely surprised and riveted by Angel Eyes. Characters, story, it all worked for me. I won't even try to find fault, the film felt "personal."
Jennifer Lopez is credible as Sharon Pogue, well-liked, a tough, impatient cop with a relentless sense of right and wrong. She is quick to reject ... Read More

Angel Eyes' released in '01 is a sweet romantic tale of two unhappy loners disconnected from family and loved ones. Police officer Sharon Pogue (Jennifer Lopez) and a mysterious stranger known only as Catch (Jim Caviezel) find in each other the means to overcome the emotional obstacles holding them back from experiencing the wonders of the world around them. As you've already guessed love is soon to follow.
The film is a little on the slow side but Caviezel and Lopez are wonderful together ... Read More
Rating:  - i would go lower than i one if it were possible
this may easily be one of the dumber movies made in the last hundred years. and there were a lot of them. this definitely ranks up in the 10%-tile.
Rating: - Good Movie
Different JLo movie that I have seen but yet it was very good. Made you think. Ended not the way I thought but worth watching.
