    The Fourth Angel is quite ok and it has two very good role performed excellently by Jeremy Irons and Forest Whitaker! The story is good the things in it allows Irons to do a lot. There were some flaws in the movie, like the scene of the hijjacking, was not so convincing, people ...( read more)were sitting too quiet and relax in the chairs. The music is pretty good and it fits the film very well! The scenes when Irons and Whitaker are together really makes the film good and Whitaker does a very good job here.He is really a superb actor. Plus I like to see two unusual actors together in a film and see how they can make it interesting.

    Another the part I didn't like is the hunting scene. Other than this is a decent film! If you want to see Jeremy Irons and Forest Whitaker kicking some asses, than watch The Fourth Angel!

    This is a top notch revenge thriller. Jeremy Irons gives us a great performance as a grieving father and as a determine husband to get revenge and understand why his family was killed. The minor roles of Forest Whitaker and Jason Priestley are okay. I have never read the book thi...( read more)s was based off but I would recommend this as a watch.

    This would have been a better movie had plastic Priestley and some of the American gloss been left out. Forest Whitaker covers his corner as adequately as he could in this role, but Jeremy Irons pulls off an impressive lead performance in this nail-biting story.

    Somewhere in the movie the plot and the actors get boring.
