I like to think that Walken flipped through the script, realized how lame it was, and decided to have some fun anyway.
Angels battling on earth, a hammy Walken; church is more interesting.
It looked a lot fresher when it was new, but it's still intriguing.
Top-notch combination of Supernatural thrills and Walken-esque sensation
Chris Walken is worth the price of admission
Paradise Lost reimagined as a droll B horror picture. Walken is terrific, as always, and Viggo Mortensen's cameo is worth the price of admission alone.
