“Angel Eyes” is a story about a seemingly unlikely couple who cross paths under life-threatening circumstances as though they are destined not only to meet but to save each other’s lives.

Officer Sharon Pogue (Jennifer Lopez) is an excellent cop. “She’s tough and she doesn’t compromise,” explains director Luis Mandoki. “She will do whatever it takes to do the right thing, regardless of personal cost to herself.”

Assigned to a high-crime district in the South Side of Chicago, her job puts her into danger on a daily basis — arresting drug dealers, confronting armed criminals, breaking up fights. The intense anger that often shows through her professional exterior in the face of such volatile situations leads her partner and friend Robby (Terrence Howard) to suspect she was well-acquainted with violence long before she ever put on a uniform. But it’s something she chooses not to talk about.

Sharon’s dedication to her job does little to compensate for the fact that she has no personal life. She has been estranged from her family for many years. Disconnected from them and from life in general, Sharon fills her days with work and her nights with her private regrets.

Somewhere in the same neighbourhood a man by the name of Catch (Jim Caviezel)is living his own half-life. A strange, haunted soul who sleeps in an empty apartment, he spends his days dispensing little gifts of goodwill to anyone in need. If it starts to rain and he notices a car window open, Catch will roll it up; if a stranger passes by, Catch will offer a smile. Twice a week he delivers groceries to a disabled woman named Elanora Davis (Shirley Knight). He and Elanora exchange the same light banter every time he stops by but she has learned not to ask him the kinds of questions he doesn’t want to answer.

To most people who encounter him, Catch is an odd but harmless figure. To some, he appears dangerous and suspicious. But Catch is indifferent to the reactions he elicits. He moves through the landscape in a kind of existential daze, performing his services automatically as though this is the only thing he was meant to do. Yet he seems to derive no real pleasure from it.

Like Sharon, Catch has no personal life.

It’s only when Catch and Sharon fall in love and then risk losing that love that they are forced to examine who they really are. After years of dealing with their pain, the unlikely couple make some difficult decisions and risk losing each other if they are going to move forward and reclaim their lives.
