So here is the second movie. This one was a lot easier to navigate through which was refreshing. We again have Christopher Walken as Gabriel. There are also two characters played by the L Word cast which I thought was pretty cool. The main protagonist is Jennifer Beals who played Bette Porter in the L Word and Michael is played by Eric Roberts who was Shane's Dad in the L Word. I was also surprised to see Brittany Murphy in this movie as well. So we are going in with a really well known cast which is great.
The movie follows Valerie (Jennifer Beals) who is a doctor. She is seduced by Danyael (an angel) and he gets her pregnant with a "super baby" (half human/half angel). Gabriel is back again as Lucifer rejected him from Hell and is determined to kill her to stop the baby from being born. With the help of Danyael and Michael, she is able to defeat Gabriel.
There is a brief part in the very beginning where you see the detective from the first movie living as a monk and then he is murdered by Gabriel. I guess he needed that little bit of payback for sending him to Hell.
Overall I thought this movie was really good and a lot more composed than the first one. This was much much easier to follow and the different between good and evil was clearly defined. I gave this one a four especially for the great cast selection. Let's see how number three goes...
