I'm a little biased with this movie, I’m a sucker for Angel stories.
Good: Story. It was an interesting take on Archangels, Fallen Angels and Purgatory. There was some slight character development, but nothing great. The look of the movie is great. The main baddy, Sammael, had the creepiest eyes I’ve seen in a while, and the actor wore them well. And the actor for Gabriel was not only hot, but I thought he was pretty good actor, doesn’t look like he’s really been in much other stuff though.
The style of the world was a lot like Dark City or The Crow, very dark, goth and dirty. And really the world is a character into its self. A big part of the movie and how the characters are the way they are is because of the world. I found the idea of Angels trying to cope with a world of darkness and violence really interesting.
Bad: It didn’t have a great budget, which when they use some of the special effects is real obvious. During some of the fight scenes they make it look like they were moving real fast by adding blur lines. But it just didn’t work. They should’ve just stuck with the nice martial arts of the first few fights.
It also looked like they pulled too many little things from other movies. There are several scenes that have been seen in other movies like Equilibrium, and The Transporter. Nods are fine for some genres, but stealing scenes from other movies isn’t.

I have yet to see this particular movie. Based on your review I am hesitant to do so. The movie seems shallow and pedantic.
