Customer Reviews of Descending Angel
What if your future father-in-law was a Nazi war criminal? Michael Rossi (Eric Roberts) is engaged to Irina Stroia (Diane Lane), but learns that his future father-in-law, Florian Stroia (George C. Scott) is some sort of Nazi war criminal in this 1990 made-for-television movie. The only real suspense in the film is whether or not Michael will figure things out before Florian figures out that Michael is figuring things out. Unlike "Music Box," an obvious comparison and a much better film overall, there is no blood bond between the protagonist and antagonist. Sure, Irina will have a hard time trying to decide which, if either of the pair, get her forgiveness once she learns her fiance has unmasked her father as a mass murdering Nazi, but the entire rationale for making "Descending Angel" is to have an escalating series of confrontations between Michael and Florian. Unfortunately, the performance by Roberts does not match what Scott brings to the table as an actor.
The screenplay by Robert Siegel, Grace Woodard, and Alan Sharp gets points for offering us an oral debate on where the atrocities of the past fit into the world of today, but some viewers will no doubt be offended by giving the devil the opportunity to speak on his own behalf. In that regard "Descending Angel" is more like the end of George Steiner's novel, "The Portage to San Cristobal of A.H." in which Hitler speaks to the Jewish Nazi hunters who have tracked him down. There is a valuable lesson of sorts to be learned here, having to do with not letting seductive words make us forget acts of evil, and some of that does indeed come across despite the weaknesses of the film.
Scott is really a very good actor
A liked of this film only by George C. Scott's work. The history and the other actors are good but Scott makes the difference. He is a strong and imponent actor, and change the manner to see any movie. If you like George C. Scott, i recommend this movie.
Wonderful movie
Great movie. It has Eric Roberts in it who is a geart actor so that says it all! Buy it now for his sake.
