Dark Angel

First off!!! A red headed heaven? Seriously!?!? The books focus so much on the color of her hair. Why is this important? Because her deceased mother, leigh, who died having her was a blonde. Her father Luke called leigh his angel. Heaven looked exactly like her mother EXCEPT she had dark almost black hair. Hence the name DARK ANGEL!!!! Thanks for ruining the series for the fans you idiots. Read the damn books next time! What an obvious blunder. An unforgivable one at that. And that's just the start of how horribly wrong they went with these movies. If you have read the books, dont watch these. You will be thoroughly disappointed they butchered the whole series the way they did. If you haven't read the books, the acting is terrible and there is no real connection made with any of the characters in these movies. So much so you dont really care who lives and who dies in these.

Oh wow. The dialogue so predictable. Raccoon date or wear the raccoon. Priestley stiff delivery of queen's English. Lol. No contractions shall be utilized! Hop in the sack with the brother immediately. How old is she supposed to be? Seventeen? Or the lie of sixteen? Just horrible even for Lifetime

Heaven Leigh Van Voreen Casteel (Annalise Basso) is reunited with her newly discovered wealthy callous drunken grandmother Jillian (Kelly Rutherford) who doesn't want her to stay. Heaven has nowhere to go. Jillian's slimy husband Tony Tatterton (Jason Priestley) demands her total obedience. Tony's younger brother Troy designs the toys for the family business.

I got a bit confused with Heaven being 16. It totally screwed up the first movie for me until her reveal alleviates it a little. It would have made the first movie even creepier and Fanny's situation would be even more disturbing. Tony's revelation is just crazy. I'm not sure if Tony and Jillian are supposed to be the same age. It would make more sense if Jillian is a decade older. It seems to be a casting mistake. There needs to be a bit of clarity with all the dates and ages especially if the reveal depends so much on one year. It would help the melodrama. At some point, I'm expecting an evil twin in this series.

There often was no distinction, between acting and overacting, sometimes to the point where characters became cartoons.

Jason Priestly's performance, at best, was disappointing.

Jason Priestley is shockingly bad in this movie. The direction is also poor - life is rushed and people make decisions no 'real' people would. Haven't read the books, but can't believe they are this poor
