The Detroit News. Ever since her turn opposite George Clooney in 1998's Out of Sight, people who take movies seriously have been inclined to take Lopez seriously. Almost on sight, you trust her, like her, root for her.

Angel Eyes tests her charisma to the max. She plays an intense, determined, physically and verbally tough Chicago cop, a woman who operates effectively in a man's world. Her colleagues are mostly men and so are her adversaries on the street. It's part that, to be sure. Here, Caviezel plays a gentle but incommunicative, disreputable-looking fellow who wanders the city looking to do random acts of kindness.
