Audience Member What a ‘Gem'!!! ...(I only-wish there was a sequel!) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The description makes it sound so wonderful but the plot is choppy, jumping around in locations and time frames. You watch and only half figure out what's happening until the end where it really flops. And the satirical "spiritual" explanation was stupid. Waste of time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member 48 Angels is roughly about Seamus (shamus for the non-Irish among us) hopping into a boat on a mission to meet God before God comes for him. along his sailing he meets some colorful folks who he involves himself with. I anticipated something about religion and God and Christ and that ilk, but this had as much to do with those as it did with baking recipes for the blind. What it did instead was turn the audience into the little kid and had him tag along as we followed a rogue IRA soldier try to get his fellow members back into the whole murder of women and children thang, as well as the 15 yr old who has no idea what he's doing in life and so puppy dog follows the IRA rogue. Not thrilling. Beyond all that, the acting was sub par. I never thought he'd shoot the dude, and I didn't get what half the cast was doing in this film. However, Gracie, who was in the movie for maybe 5 minutes, was my favorite character. She was about the only believable character in the whole hour and a half. So yeah, more words for this review than just about any other. That's because I think you should go see this movie for the sheer fact that I hope it will drum up support for the importation of future Irish films. This is the bullet we need to take for that dream to come true though. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow & rather silly in spots. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Dragging plot that goes nowhere, IRA story gets muddled. No real action and no ending. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was not very good. It is hard to understand the actors and the movie ends very suddenly. Some of it keeps you intriged but in the end you will get very upset you spent time watching it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
