One of my all time favorites.
Beautiful, moving film.
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
"Lost Angel" is an American 17-minute movie from 2013, so it's 3 years old now. The writer and director is Derek Efrain Villanueva and he also plays one of the two main characters in this little story. It is the tale of a Dutch tourist coming to the US and he loses his stuff right away, but help comes from an unlikely source. Actually, that "source" is just as gay as the main character and as a result of that a love story starts between the two. Only problem is that the local guy is a hustler, who occasionally gets visited by huge violent guys that almost kill him. Luckily a thin Ducth tourist is in the same room hiding and the brutal big guy runs away of course. That was irony if you haven#t recognized it. i also wonder why we would find any of the protagonists likable. This refers to the hustler because of what he does and who his company is, but also to the tourist who goes right to a complete stranger's apartment after being only for hours in the country. But hey, nothing bad can come of it, but maybe a love story that lasts forever as we are told in the most pretentious moment of the film perhaps near the end when we hear a certain Spanish-language quote randomly thrown at us. Don't worry, there are more pretentious moments. The title is already one of these. All in all, this film is an unrealistic failure with unlikable protagonists. I highly recommend not to check it out.
