André: Who'd be dead if I hadn't saved you?
Angel-A: Who'd be dead if there wasn't anyone to save? 



Alright, what's up folks? today I'm gonna give you something nostalgic, something that goes wayyyyy back when I was just a regular guy in movies. This one is an antique, or perhaps not that antique. Yes, it is, folks! Angel-A! Take your french side out!

The movie is centered on an inept scam artist called André Moussah (Jamel Debbouze) who is in huge trouble. He owes a lot of people money, and he couldn't even pay them. He's broke, he doesn't have anyone (no, literally, anyone.) to help him or to just be with him. All that he had is a place to live in America, and he is in France. When it seems like there's no hope at all, he chooses to take what would be the most logical decision: he suicides. He goes to Seine river, and tries to kill himself by jumping from the bridge. But, when he is about to jump, he notices a tall, beautiful girl was standing on the bridge, trying to do the same thing just like what he about to do. Out of a sudden, she jumps! André is shocked and jumps into the river to save her.

André saved her, and later on, this girl reveals herself as Angel-a (Rie Rasmussen), and she helps André along the way. She teaches André to love himself, and to stop lying. To have André live his life to the fullest, to be free. André, on the other hand, began to love himself and Angel-a. Even at first he didn't trust 'her whereabouts'.

Angel-A brings you a whole different picture of the life; how it works. Not only it will give you life for dummies: 101, but also a twist of how things could happen. You see, it's all there. We live by a cause, and for a cause; To love and be loved in return. Jamel Debbouze's act is as usual, marvelous. His other roles like in Amélie or Days of Glory can't be matched in this one. Not to mention the angelic Rie Rasmussen. She really brings her character to the max. Most of the time in the movie are just incredible. Oh, and have i told you that Director Luc Besson brings this movie in a noir way of view? Yes, he did. he brought Paris to its best.

So i guess, this is the time for me to end my sermon. Take a leap of faith, folks. And watch this movie right away.
