"Some people lose their faith because Heaven shows them too little," says Thomas Daggett. "But how many people lose their faith because Heaven showed them too much?" Daggett nearly became a priest; now he's a cop. He may want to put religion behind him, but one morning a weird, eyeless, hermaphroditic corpse turns up. Suddenly he is on a path that will put him right in the middle of a war in Heaven. And once again, Heaven will show him too much: gore, blood, charred flesh, living corpses and much worse. Even more central to the heavenly war effort is a young girl. This American Indian child has something Gabriel wants. And Gabriel is willing to kill her and anyone in his path - or even reanimate a corpse or two - to get it.
After his incredible success with the Highlander franchise, Gregory Widen wrote and directed this incredible eerie tale of suspense and horror. The characters are crisp and fresh, and the cast depicts them with an eerie sense of reality. Elias Koteas is incredibly adept at his role, portraying the disillusioned Dagget with a humanity we can all associate with. Eric Stoltz is adept at his role as Simon, the angel from the forces loyal to God's will concerning man. Christopher Walken is the perfect Gabriel, smiling and deceptive, treating us "talking monkeys" with the same sort of casual disdain as one may treat a retarded child. Virginia Madsen plays the lone teacher for what remains of an abandoned mining town, and she portrays the role in such a manner as to have us believing she has taught school for years. While the remainder of the cast is proficient and talented in their roles, special mention has to be made of Viggo Mortensen as Lucifer. He delivers his lines with such precision of depth and directness, you can believe he is the devil incarnate. Rated R for violence, gore and language, this is truly a work of art. Collectible as the first in a series of five films, or by itself as just an incredible work of fiction and the imagination of Gregory Widen.
I myself am an atheist but for some reason I love it when filmmakers explore the scope of religious works, even more if they manipulate it subtly to meet the needs of their story.
Thomas (Elias Koteas) is about to be ordained a Priest, only for some reason he loses the plot at the swearing in ceremony and abruptly leaves the church altogether to join the police force.
Some time later he is visited by Simon (Eric Stoltz), who claims he is an angel. Thomas is you could say a tad sceptical and says as much to Simon. Shortly after this meeting Simon is attacked by someone who jumps through the window of his first floor flat. During the scuffle Simon pushes the assailant back out the window to the street below, where the unfortunate is immediately hit by a car.
Now bear with me here! Our car accident victim buddy has the triple whammy. Not only has he just been thrown out of a first floor window, but he is also then hit by a speeding car. Thennnnn, he is squooshed against a wall by the car to add injury to injury, to injury.
My question is this. Let's play Devil's advocate here and say that in ordinary circumstances that this wasn't the 0.000000000000000001% of the time that a guy would happen to be falling from that window. That being the case that car was just going to smash into the wall anyway? (Very much like the recent Edge of Darkness where the lady steps out of the car onto a quiet road to be instantaneously cleaned up by another speeding car. Based upon normal probabilities there is an infantessimal chance that these things could be organised even if you tried.) Unless it is movie magic, so let's just agree that it was movie magic and move on you say? Done. You'll never guess who is called in to investigate the crime scene: Thomas, that's who. Another digression: You know it is a niche market when the force employs an angel specialist. You think he had many cases? Unless the TV show Touched by an Angel was far more literal a title than we thought all these years.
Back to the crime scene. Thomas is a little surprised to find the victim lost his eyes, and not in the crash, he never had them. Also the hotel room has been trashed and when dusted for prints not one is uncovered, but Thomas's book on Angels is.
Curioser and curioser.
We cut to a remote school with a small group of students, Catherine (Virginia Madsen) seems to be the only teacher of the one class covering all ages and grades. Simon is now hiding out in a run down and unused part of the buildings.
This town is where the bulk of the rest of the story takes place. To fast track matters Simon is now holding onto something that is much sought after by his yet unnamed rivals, and they want it. Bad.
As every good film requires conflict we immediately get to meet the other interested party, his name is Gabriel and he was once the right hand man to God himself.
Gabriel desperately wants what Simon holds, as he feels it will tip the balance in an Angelic war that has been waged for countless years in his favour. In Gabriel's eyes humans are no more than "talking monkeys", and he detests us for how we are apparently viewed by God, feeling that angels have somehow received a bad rap.
(Gabriel ends up coming into contact with almost every other main character and Walken seems to relish the chance to ham it up, after all no-one can say exactly how an angel should act can they? He spits out lines casually but is always menacing, and in fact some of his throwaway responses are actually hilarious.) Expanding on the simple premise above would result in much complication, none of which is necessary here, but know first that The Prophecy intertwines an intricately crafted backstory into what many believe, and does it very well. There are some great standalone scenes, minimum "BOO!" scares a powerful ending.
Whether you believe in this stuff or not probably will have a bearing on what you think of the film. If you are already a believer the odds are that you will hate this or at least just take it as a fantasy story, I can't see why this would create anger in the religious community.
If, like me you think this is all a work of fiction then you may find a lot to like here. Again I am an absolute sucker for theological elements in film so I lapped this up. I thought everyone in was effective, most notably Christopher Walken as a perfectly pasty and dare I say it otherworldly Gabriel, and Viggo Mortensen stole the finale with a bit part that veered close to parody but ended up suiting the tone of the film.
The only negative I can throw at The Prophecy is that Gabriel and his undead lackeys were used to attempt to add some levity, only it felt quite out of place at times. Gabriel is perfectly amusing with most of his dialogue without forcing the issue with cartoony stuff.
Final Rating - 9 / 10. One of my personal favourites. I just wish they didn't make 4 unnecessary sequels.

The angel Simon (Eric Stoltz) sucks out the soul of recently-deceased Colonel Arnold Hawthorne, considered to be the darkest soul on Earth, and hides it in the body of a young Native American schoolgirl named Mary (Moriah 'Shining Dove' Snyder). When the archangel Gabriel (Christopher Walken) comes looking for Hawthorne's soul in order to fulfill a prophecy that will end an angelic civil war in heaven, the only one to stop him is seminarian-turned-police-officer Thomas Daggett (Elias Koteas). However, Gabriel will stop at nothing, even ripping Mary to shreds, to get that soul. The Prophecy is based on a screenplay written by American film-maker Gregory Widen, who also directed the movie. It was followed by four sequels: The Prophecy II (1998) (1998) and The Prophecy 3: The Ascent (2000) (2000), both also written by Widen, plus The Prophecy: Uprising (2005) (2005), and The Prophecy: Forsaken (2005) (2005). God has put humans in His grace by giving them souls and pushed aside the Angels, who have no souls. Consequently, some of the Angels became jealous, and they started a second war in order to regain their favored position at the right hand of God. There shall be a dark soul, and this soul will eat other dark souls and so become their inheritor. This soul will not rest in an angel, but a man, and he shall be a warrior. Hawthorne is said to have the "blackest" soul on earth at the time. He was convicted of conducting human sacrifices and alleged cannibalism by he and his troops at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in North Korea in 1950. Simon wants to hide Hawthorne's soul so that it can't be used as the "dark soul" in the angelic war. Gabriel wants to use it to his side's advantage. In some Christian theology, a soul in the state of grace is considered "white", whereas a serious sin (sometimes referred to as a "mortal" sin) blackens the soul. Consequently, the angels only have to look at a person's soul to see how black it is. Hawthorne's soul was the blackest soul on earth. When Mary gets sick thanks to Hawthorne's soul inside her, Grandmother Emma () calls in a hand trembler (aka ndilniihii). In Navajo medicine, the hand trembler attempts to diagnose the cause of the illness by analyzing the movements of her hand. Depending upon the diagnosis, the patient may require a certain "sing" (also called a "way"), a specific chant that can only be performed by the "singer" (Medicine Man). In Mary's case, the hand trembler determines that something is inside her and that Mary will need to have the Enemy Ghost Way. Emma, Katherine, and Thomas take Mary up to Old Woman Butte where the Medicine Man (Albert Nelson) and the elders of her clan are preparing for the Enemy Ghost Way ceremony. Meanwhile, Gabriel has resurrected Rachel (Amanda Plummer), a dying woman who he wants to drive him to Old Woman Butte. Lucifer (Viggo Mortensen) appears to Katherine and Thomas and tells Thomas that the key to defeating Gabriel is by using Gabriel's lack of faith. "What if an angel, just like you, didn't understand?" he hints. Thomas lays a chain across the road and, when Gabriel finally arrives, he pulls the chain tight, ripping apart Gabriel's car, so Gabriel walks the rest of the way on foot. He breaks open the door to the hogan and attempts to interrupt the ceremony, but Thomas drives his truck through the door, knocking Gabriel aside and beating him with a tire iron. Lucifer then appears. Gabriel tells Lucifer that this is his (Gabriel's) war, but Lucifer replies that the war is based on arrogance, which is evil, making it Lucifer's war. Lucifer then rips out Gabriel's heart. Thomas tells the elders to complete the ceremony, and Hawthorne's soul is eventually expelled from Mary's body and destroyed. Taking a bite out of Gabriel's heart, Lucifer asks Thomas and Katherine to come home with him, but they refuse. In the final scene, the Medicine Man scatters the remains of the sand paintings to the Earth. In a voiceover, Thomas muses, And in the end, I think it must be about faith. And if faith is a choice, then it can be lost...for a man, an angel...the devil himself. And if faith means never completely understanding God's plan, then maybe understanding just a part of it, our part, is what it means to have a soul.And maybe, in the end, that's what being human is after all. No, as evidenced when Thomas decisively tells Lucifer, "I'm not an angel. I'm just a man, which means I got something you don't. It's a soul." Some viewers have suggested that another comment from Lucifer, in which he tells Thomas, "What if an angel, like you, didn't understand?", could be taken to mean that Lucifer is saying that Thomas is an angel, Awkward as the sentence is, it should be interpreted as "Imagine an angel didn't understand, just like you don't understand." Thomas was simply a man who, while studying to become a priest, began to have prophetic visions of the war between the angels in heaven. Yes. The shooting draft for the movie can be found at Weekly Script. The alternative version is the European video release version under the title "God's Army". As it never got a theatrical release, it was released directly on video and subsequently shown on TV in a full frame transfer. The loss of almost 40% of it's original widescreen image resulted in certain scenes being unusable, as even in a pan-and-scan transfer it was impossible to convey the visual elements convincingly.
