I have to admit that when I sat down to watch the 2002 Western movie "Glory Glory" (aka "Hooded Angels"), I wasn't really harboring much of any expectations to the movie. It was mostly because of the title "Glory Glory", which just didn't have any particular sense or wow effect to it. But I still opted to give the movie a fair chance, since I never saw it before, much less even heard of it.
Writer and director Paul Matthews put together quite an enjoyable script for the movie. I have to say that I was positively and genuinely entertained throughout the 102 minutes that the movie ran for. I liked the storyline told in the movie, because it was well-written, had interesting characters and a fair amount of action and character development.
The acting performances in the movie were quite good. And while I was only familiar with Amanda Donohoe,
Paul Johansson and Gary Busey on the cast list, I have to say that they definitely had a good ensemble of talents on the cast list, because everyone put on good performances and helped to bring the characters to life on the screen.
Visually then "Glory Glory" was good, because the movie looked and felt like a Western-era based movie. They had put a lot of effort into the sets, the wardrobe and the props. And that definitely helps to flesh out a Western movie, adding to its enjoyment.
If you enjoy Western movies, then "Glory Glory" is well-worth sitting down to watch, despite of its somewhat strange title. I was genuinely entertained throughout the entire movie.
My rating of "Glory Glory" lands on a six out of ten stars.
