About
You’ll likely like Fallen Angel if you enjoy classic noir romance and deception with murder at the center; Not for you if you want a tightly believable plot, prefer fast pacing, or dislike love-triangle melodrama like The Postman Always Rings Twice or Absence of Malice.
Pros: noir atmosphere; tense love triangle; strong performances | Cons: convoluted plot; uneven believability; some find it slow
