Download Fourth Angel, The
(action, drama, thriller)
Jack Elgin is the European editor of The Economist, which is based in London, England. Jack has a wife named Maria and three kids named Joanne, Julia, and Andrew. Jack subtly changes the family vacation from a lazy week of Mediterranean fun and sun in Corfu, Greece, to a tour of India, because of a story he has to cover. Maria is not as impressed by this as the kids are. Jack himself envisioned a chance to simultaneously work an easy reporting assignment and spend a little quality time with his family. But on the way to India, the airplane, a 747 owned by AM Air, an American airline, makes an unscheduled stopover in Limassol Cyprus, because of a mechanical problem. After a while of waiting inside the Limassol airport, everyone gets back on the plane — which is then hijacked by a group of terrorists known as the August 15th Movement, led by a Serbian man named Ivanic Loyvek and his right-hand man Karadan Maldic. And they are demanding $50,000,000 from the US State Department in one hour, or everyone on the airplane will die. The demand is met, and Loyvek and Maldic start releasing the women and children, with the men to go last. But as soon as a front passenger door is opened, a local police team gunning for the terrorists opens fire. The flight attendants frantically open the rest of the airplane's doors and start getting passengers out, but the terrorists start killing passengers, leading to an explosion. Maria, Joanne, and Julia get out of the airplane, and then Jack, holding Andrew, gets out — only to watch Maria, Joanne, and Julia get shot by the terrorists. Jack tries to hide Andrew's face so he can't see it. Maria and Joanne are dead, and Julia is still alive — but Julia burns to death while crying for help. Jack and Andrew survive. In all, a total of 15 passengers die, and Loyvek and Maldic, the surviving terrorists, escape, knowing that they now have the $50,000,000. The hijacking would never have ended this way if the police team had waited until after the passengers were released from the airplane before getting trigger happy. Back in London, an absolutely devastated Jack is told that the terrorists were captured, but they were released and deported secretly, with no charges and no arrest, the result of some awfully compromised politics. Jack is understandably enraged that Loyvek and Maldic got off scot-free. While helping Andrew cope, Jack tries all the legal ways to ensure justice for his family, but to no avail. Jack even pays a visit to Henry Davidson, a CIA agent who works at the American Embassy in London. Davidson tells Jack that there's little that can be done. Obviously, the American and British governments are completely impotent when it comes to going after Loyvek and Maldic, so Jack has absolutely no choice in the matter. He must do it himself. With the help of his ex-intelligence operative friend Kate Stockton, who is well-schooled in the finer points of international intelligence, Jack becomes a one-man anti-terrorist squadron, searching for Loyvek and Maldich. Dogging Jack's trail is FBI agent Jules Bernard, who's cooperating with Scotland Yard on anti-terrorist activities, and who suspects that Jack is the man who has been killing anyone involved in the hijacking. But as it turns out, Jules is on Jack's side, and he's willing to help Jack make those responsible pay for the deaths of his family and the other people who died in Cyprus.

Although the gender (thriller of revenge) is a bit dated and gypsum
barely
A-list, this is a constant involvement of film that one can delight
unsuspecting public. Jeremy Irons is not everywhere a natural choice for
an action hero. However, casting as the beleaguered Jack Elgin
only serves to reinforce
intelligence and sensitivity with which the film makers
build the story of an innocent man in their quest for justice. Support
Forrest Whitaker (fun, if trodden), Charlotte Rampling (
strange accent / affectation) and Jason Priestly (smarmy, stain and Spot-On)
enriches the drama and the child is fantastic.
action sequences are sporadic and small-scale compared to the large U.S. budget
Movies like Planet of the Apes and AI but at least the fourth
Angel has characters on whom one cares and a story that, if not entirely original
, is in constant participation.
London shines dramatically and the overall look of the Fourth Angel
makes you wonder why other British films set of cheap and feel TVesque. Result
is a little intrusive, but the soundlessness of the seventies seems a distant memory
with the choice of modern movies to instruct the audience exactly how
must react with excess of top of ropes and drums. End of rant. See
The Fourth Angel.
This film, The Fourth Angel is very good and has two very good role
excellently performed by Jeremy Irons and Forest Whitaker! The story is
good things that can do a lot Irons. In fact makes it a little
in the film. His performance is very credible, since it makes the viewer believe
something horrible has happened to his family. Terrorists are different
in the film. The music is quite good and that the film fits in very well! The
scenes when Irons and Whitaker are actually together the film and good
Whitaker does a very good job here. I think it's really an underrated actor
. In addition
I like to see two actors together in an unusual film and see how
can make it interesting! Jason Priestley was different with it and I showed him
performance that can be a big star! Actually the party is not
as the hunting scene. Others who is a decent movie!
If you want to see Jeremy Irons and Forest Whitaker is excellent performance after seeing the
Fourth Angel!
