Film Review: 6 Angels (2006)

Starring: Nobody you've ever heard of  and being in this piece of dreck will enhance nobody's CV.

The Plot: A young woman awakes from a 12 year coma to find her family are dead. Then a mysterious woman explains that she's now an Angel, one of three heavenly soldiers tasked with maintaining the balance between Good and Evil.
 Naturally there's also three Fallen angels on a mission to do...evil stuff. What exactly is never really explained.
 When the bad guys launch a sneak attack, our reluctant heroine finds herself fighting alone with the fate of the world at stake. 
So is it any good?   

NO!

  The DVD blurb describes this as An action-packed adventure in the style of  "Highlander" and "The Prophecy"  By "In the style of.." they actually mean "Steals ideas from.." and as for action - packed... I have to ask, what movie were you watching?
  The bulk of the movie is heroine Taileen looking puzzled while the good angels explain stuff to her. Meanwhile the bad angels act like utter dicks for the hell of it. 
  Once Taileen's teammates get themselves killed by forgetting that the opposition are liable to be cheating bastards, things do pick up a bit. And at this point wouldn't have been nice if the action sequences had been put together by somebody who knew what they were doing?  There's a protracted fight-scene that's so hamfisted it's actually painful to watch and the final showdown is a lethal game of hide and seek in a warehouse because there's not enough of those in low budget movies.
  Nobody involved in this film can act, write or direct and about the only positive things I can say are: 
Star Alison Fabre is redhaired and kinda cute.
Taileen's psychokinesis is put to novel use when she realises the things she can move include the bones in somebody's neck. 
There's not many films where you get to hear Lucifer call God a Mother******.
 Normally I'd post screenshots but that would involve having to sit through this shite again and life's too short.
I spent  £1 buying this. I want my money back.
