yeah those are pretty good, too bad with a better scripts and those review she would have at least got an other Golden Globe nod.

Ever since I saw her in Mi Familia I've considered her a very good actress. Anyone who doesn't should check that movie out. Like Yossarian, I've liked her work in pretty every movie of hers I've seen. Actually, this was the one I liked the least, and I still think it was good!

Jennifer was really great in this movie.

True, true. By the way, thanks for all the pasted reviews, Dmitri, but the only one I found useful was this one:
Chicago Reader / Jonathan Rosenbaum:
"The sincerity of their performances (Lopez and Caviezel) overrides the intermittent implausibilities of Gerald Dipego's script."
That's exactly what I've been trying to put my finger on all this time, but could not find the words. The movie is implausable, yes. Many parts feel weird. When JLo comes up to her dad, I found it strange that he says "I feel like I don't have a daughter anymore" when he's the one who's keeping her away and she's the one trying to fix their rel-ship.
I don't think some parts were well thought-through. And JLo's brother doesn't really seem very hispanic to me :), though one never gets the idea that he's adopted.
Btw, 666 - great quote!!!! Naken Gun rules!

I first saw this movie in 2001 and today a VHS version was on sale at my local supermarket for $2.99. I remembered it as a kind of understated psychological drama which hadn't attracted a large audience. The first thing that struck me upon watching it again tonight was the selection of the actors and the glowing futures that awaited them, most notably Jim Caviezel, Terrence Howard and Jeremy Sisto. I studied Jeremy for some time realizing that I had seen him since in another
dysfunctional
role and then it came to me; he played Billy Chenowith on
Six Feet Under.
I was also suprised to be reacquainted with the somewhat of a cult favourite, Shirley Knight, who turned up as the
den
mother.
As at least one person on the set of
Passion of the Christ
mentioned, Jim Caviezel is able to radiate a kind of subtle
mystical
intensity and depth of emotion which serves him very well, especially in this case, as it helps to enhance and elevate the romantic component of the film. Ms. Lopez provides a wonderful counterpoint as the more logically based
realist
and the combination of the two personalities provides a suitable chemistry as the characters learn to be of mutual aid in their individual healing and personal growth.
A memorable piece of work

Yes, I completely agree with the above posts. I was shocked to see the 5.5 rating, especially when Titanic is voted the 10th best movie all time. I'm also surprised that JLo got such a bad rap. She was terrific in this movie! She really is talented!

Well, sure, but I don't listen to or follow celebrity gossip, other than what slips by the built in editor I have installed in my feeble brain, and, in all honesty, I couldn't care less what actors do on their own time or what they're like in real life. I only look at their work.
I only listen to gossip at work. Then it's entertaining.
I agree completely with your take on both the movie and her performance. Thanks for the feedback.

I can tell you why she isn't very well liked. Because she portrays this "average girl" (Jenny from the block) image, and a lot of things you hear about her are quite the contrary. She's rumored to have quite the diva attitude, and is supposedly a little primadona.
I will give her huge amounts of credit though, this movie was awsome and she was great in it. It totally slid udner the radar. She plays a normal person very well.

ANGEL EYES is a good movie and Jennifer Lopez gives yet another good performance. I have no idea why she gets so much criticism. She's done a good job in everything I've seen her in. I guess there are just certain actors people love to hate. I'm glad I'm not one of those people.

And?
I thought she was pretty good in this. I don't know why some people bashed her for this role.
And I think the 5.6 rating is criminal. This is at least a 7, imo.
