The film revolves around a cleaning man in L.A. who takes his boss's daughter hostage after being fired and replaced by a robot. Two angels who are tasked to human relationships on earth, offer some unsolicited help to bring this unlikely couple together.
Any movie featuring Holly Hunter as a blood-spattered angel, grinning homicidally as she clings to the hood of a speeding car, is just about impossible to dislike.
little more than a string of set-pieces... (but) the movie looks and sounds fabulous, thanks to Boyle's sharp eye and a soundtrack featuring everyone from Underworld to Elvis.
