Summary:
A con man (Christian Bale), along with his seductive partner (Amy Adams), is forced to work for a wild FBI agent (Bradley Cooper), who pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia.


My Thoughts:
This film resembles an All-Star line-up and from the Cast-Role alone it is clear why this flick got so many Oscar nominations.
If all this outstanding personnel could be covenanted it must My Rating: (out of possible 5)

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

13. Waiting in the Wings
Original Air Date: 2/4/2002
While attending a performance by a renowned ballet company that he also saw back in 1890. Angel realizes that nothing has changed - including the dancers.

Guest Stars:
Mark Harelik
Mark Lutz
Summer Glau

My Thoughts:
This may be my least favorite episode of Angel. It is definitely my least favorite up to this point. I always found this one to be just slow and boring. Especially the scenes in the Ballet. Until today I never realized that the Prima Ballerina was played by Summer Glau (Firefly & Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles).

My Rating:
