Fotografía, dirección, música, actuaciones, personajes. Altamente recomendable

"El Ángel" is a Biography - Drama movie in which we watch a 17-year-old teenager trying to find his place in the world but his life choices change his routine and his life in general very much.

I found this movie interesting but it lacked on action and in some moments it became a bit boring. The plot was simple but good enough to keep the audience attention while the direction which was made by Luis Ortega was equally good but with no surprises. The interpretation of Lorenzo Ferro who played as Carlos was very good and he made the difference. In conclusion, I have to say that "El Ángel" is a nice drama movie to spend your time with but do not expect more from that because I am sure that you will be disappointed.

First of all, the film is very good if we talk about filmmaking. It is slow, and somehow this Works against. The acting is amazing, every actor is wonderfull. But come on...we know who this serial killer was, in this film he is too humorous and funny....couldn't accept this aspect of the film.

The narrative and the musical sequences are great. Every actor do a perfect job, Peter Lanzani and Lorenzo Ferro are the best of the movie.

"El Angel" is a consistently watchable crime thriller/case study of the real-life Argentine serial killer Carlos Puch. It is set in the seventies and feels eminently authentic. Its soundtrack, of Spanish rock songs, is also fantastic.

In this film, Puch is a habitual thief who seems incapable of remorse, or even perhaps any other emotion. He has a baby face and a head of curls and seems wide eyed and innocent. He walks through other people's homes as though they are his own; if anything, he seems more at ease there than in his own home.

A friendship leads to a local criminal who provides him with guns, and soon Carlos isn't just robbing people. He kills like a true psychopath with no emotion whatsoever, nor does he hesitate or even think about what he is doing.

His shootings seem to happen out of his control, especially in one scene that seems quite unrealistic. Carlos is apparently a crack shot the first time he has to handle a gun.

The movie includes a repulsive and unexpected shot of an old man's wrinkled, hairy scrotum hanging out of his boxer shorts. Repulsive.

Other than that, "El Angel" is a good movie. I say check it out.
