The Prophecy II (1998)

A direct-to-video sequel that nevertheless managed to lure Walken back into the role of Gabriel. We met just a few of the heavenly host previously, so we also get to meet more of those guys, with varying degrees of success.
It's a more action-driven experience than before, and at just 75 minutes in length (excluding credits) it feels more punchy too. But the semi-successful introspection of before has been lessened, resulting in a flick that's more comic-booky, more throwaway and altogether less ambitious.
I should probably give it points for the limited amount of philosophising about notions of love and free will that it did include, though.
I liked Brittany Murphy's character. She was slotted into an existing space, but the black comedy somehow worked better with her.
