October 2, 2008Movie of good angels vs fallen angels fighting it out on earth. The idea of the story is OK, but I disliked the inconsistencies. For instance six bullets don't even knock Michael over yet fist fighting knocks him down. I also didn't understand the why of the last scene. Altho...( read more)

September 24, 2008A real missed opportunity, I was hoping for much more after seeing the trailer. The idea is good but the end result is not. It trys too hard to be a mix of the Matrix and Sin city, but the fights look strange and the CGI is over used. Watch it on TV if you have to but don't pay t...( read more)

May 24, 2008An intriguing plot with a dark haunting vision of the battle between heaven and hell.

March 9, 2008While it's somewhat derivative it is highly entertaining nontheless.
I do have some minor issues with the ending though. -

November 13, 2009It had no complex plot, I mean it had graphics, and the theme was great, but they could do so much more with it...much...much more.

October 24, 2009The only good thing in this movie is the beauty of Andy Whitfield.
But I don't intend to be injust, so I also have to say that the few fights was ok too.
I didn't like the story, the only thing cool about it was the name of the angels and how they looked like as humen. Uriel was...( read more) -
October 17, 2009when i think of angels, i rarely think of them having to use guns. Gabriel is a bit of a confused film, trying to encapsulate the dark, angsty sort of feel which many action films sport today and focus on the main character, the angel Gabriel. If the creators were truly serious ...( read more)

May 7, 2008Wasn't feeling this!!!
It makes The Prophecy looks like a Oscar Winner.
This could've been saved with some good action sequences since the plot sucks.This Prophecy wannabe was trying to achieve Sin City look :-0 but i'm sure the budget only allow the director to do camera tricks. -
March 15, 2008Loved it. I've seen so much other trash released big screen that had huge budgets that didn't come close to the sincerity of this indie flick. Its nice to see the little guy do good for once. A lot of reviews were negative but I don't see how? This film, viewed by itself and not compared to others was very well done, especially considering the budget and time limits. The core of the film's plot has been done before yes, the difference is this one was done better. There is so much passion in the actor's performances. The pain of discovering emotions - sorrow, fear, anger and love; trying to cope with it all, save your friends, save the world and not drown in the despair was beautifully done by Andy Whitfield. The dark cinematography adds to the bleakness enhancing the desire to see Gabriel restore the light. The final fight scene on the roof was revealing, intense, exciting, sad, full of regret, full of love and redemption. Shane and company should be very proud. Make me another one!
