Interesting premise

We have a number of cool things, my favorite being SCRAPBOOK (okay, maybe "favorite" is the wrong word, as I never watch that movie for entertainment, but I am simply in awe of it). I'm also fond of Brian Clement's MEAT MARKET series.

As for ABSOLUTION, I'm not the biggest fan of the execution, but I really dug the premise. What's wrong with the idea of angels on earth? It's just as plausible as demons, if you want to look at it that way. Again, though, the above is just my opinion.

Maybe. But, the execution is absolutely wretched (aside from the convincing throat slitting scene, the movie is bollocks). The movie could have benefitted from an edit. A huge edit at that. I mean, come on, there was a V/O (voice over) scene which well, introduces the angel scene. It would have been better if we were shown this scene. Rather than some girl telling it to us. I mean, in 90mins, you could have done a lot. I still think it's horrible.
