Reviews

Black Angel 2 has garnered mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. While some praise the film for its stylish cinematography, intense performances, and intricate storytelling, others critique it for its convoluted plot and pacing issues. According to renowned critic Roger Ebert, 'Black Angel 2 delivers a visually stunning experience but falls short in maintaining a coherent narrative flow.' On the other hand, Variety magazine hails the film as 'a riveting thriller that captivates with its unique blend of noir aesthetics and modern sensibilities.' Despite receiving a modest IMDb rating of 6.3/10, Black Angel 2 manages to leave a lasting impression with its atmospheric setting and strong lead performance by Yuki Amami.
