Gabriel on DVD (2007)

Bossbrody from Washington [Highly rated reviewer] , 02/03/2008

Do yourself a favour and steer well clear of this film, its slow and very boring. I would recommend something much better like the Crow or even Underworld.

Having read the other reviewers rather negative comments on 'Gabriel' I approached it with some minor trepidation. However, I'm here to rise in its defence. If you're looking for a slam-bam all action 'Blade' type of movie...look elsewhere! Despite its apparant low-budget, this was thoroughly engageing. It requires you to activate your brain & listen. Its a character driven tale thats both original & refreshing. I think those that have slated it have done so because it might have been too slow...on the contrary, it moves at a good linear pace with excellent performances from an entirely unknown cast. Both the clever script & acting are top notch & kept me hooked till the final, unexpected ending. Its a kind of hybrid of 'Underworld' with the same dark, moody look & feel. It requires you to 'concentrate' & the payoff is a rewarding & unusual story. The music also adds to the drama and kept me entertained throughout. I give this a high recommendation!!!

this is the one of the best films i have seen i a long time adds a new twist to the angels tale with gabriel fighting to retake control of purgatory from the fallen angels and not with divine powers but with gums and martial arts.

Watching this film was agony. The script was very poor and this was made worse by poor acting. The only reason I watched it to the end was in the vain hope that it would pick up but it didn't. Decided to watch it in fast forward mode in the end and the best part was when it finished. I was hoping it was going to be as good as, 'The Prophecy', no chance!
