Here's what the international critics are saying:

If "Angel Eyes" falters, it is because it becomes more obvious as it goes along, its sense of religiosity becoming less subtle. The films that inspired it also become more apparent. For a long time, "Angel Eyes" is confident enough to softly pull us along, the way Sharon is attracted to Catch. But then, like most movies today, it becomes more overtly manipulative, determined to touch our souls and break our hearts.
Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

Jennifer Lopez is the real thing, one of those rare actresses who can win our instinctive sympathy. She demonstrates that in "Angel Eyes," playing a tough cop who does everything she can to wall out the world, and yet always seems worthy of trust and care...There are lots of movies about cops because their lives lend themselves to excitement in a movie plot. They get involved with bad guys. They see action. They spend a lot of time drinking coffee in diners, because a booth in a diner provides an ideal rationale for a face-to-face two-shot that doesn't look awkward or violate body language. For these and other reasons "Angel Eyes" is a cop movie, but its real story doesn't involve the police, it involves damaged lives and the possibility that love can heal.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Despite a charming chemistry between the leads and a strikingly handsome look, "Angel Eyes" fails to deliver on its real promise. It opens powerfully with a complicated character in a difficult job but loses momentum in a middle passage that's full of portents about fate and predestination.
Colin Covert, Minnesota Star Tribune

...the film could have gotten hopelessly hokey, or verged off into some type of otherworldly device like the one used in "Ghost" (1990). Instead it stays strongly rooted in reality. The result is an atypical love story about the courage it takes to start again.
Paul Cinton, CNN
