El Angel (El ángel)
It is the story that has caused great controversy in Argentina, where the story tells of a young man named Carlitos, a 17-year-old man with curly hair and an innocent child's face. Carletus' dreams may someday turn into another turning point where he dreams of more money and other life. Karlitus learns Ramon, a young man at the school, who are both experimenting with new experiences and a unique kind. Carletus began to go to the world of criminality and theft and carried out many of these dangerous operations until he eventually entered prison.

At one point, a filmmaker must draw a line in the sand so his audience knows how to react. This movie dances across such a line until it is no longer there.

It's a hell of a story-spruced up and splashed on a big, colorful screen-with a lot to show but little to say.

Too little of "El Angel" escapes a second-hand, been-there, killed-that feeling.

Captivatingly nasty.

The movie is made with skill, but it's so relentless in backing away from any psychologizing or moralizing - or just about anything else that might give us a handle on what makes this monster tick - that it finally feels like an empty horror show.

Although the characters aren't sympathetic, the film benefits from stylish period visuals, subtle treatment of its homoerotic subtext, and charismatic performances.

El Angel is sensuous enough to suggest the work of Pedro Almodovar.

Ferro's superb performance makes it a highly worthwhile ride.

Ortega has a real eye for flashy, chaotic set pieces and a real ear for excellent Latin rock needle drops on the film's killer Scorsese-inspired soundtrack.

The film is well done in establishing its mood. However, it never succeeds in keeping the characters interesting.

the sheer off-kilter spectacle that finds its focus in small, weird moments is too great to dismiss

The full story has been sacrificed in the service of maintaining the balance between horror and fascination. And Ferro really has created a fascinating screen character.
