- The angel Gabriel comes to Earth to collect a soul which will end the stalemated war in Heaven, and only a former priest and a little girl can stop him.
- "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.
- Wow, well, you really know a Widen movie when you see one. He's one of those writers that come up with something unique each time he brings a script to the screen...he's also one of those writers that you just have to assume is on powerful hallucinogenic drugs.<br/><br/>Walken, of course, gets top billing, and he did do a very good job, who doesn't love it when he's a villein? He is always delightfully creepy and, in The Prophecy he balances that creepiness with a healthy does of humor. It makes him a lovable character, but then he does have a great sense of humor and one of the best deadpan deliveries in modern Hollywood.<br/><br/>Still...Elias Koteas. I don't think he means to do it, but he always takes center stage in whatever he does and The Prophecy is no different. The man just brings his A-game to every movie, every bit part he has ever played. And like his turn in Fallen, the one thing that lingers in your memory when the movie is over, is the Koteas performance. As usual he wields raw acting power with ease.<br/><br/>Stolz, as always, plays Eric Stoltz, but in this movie it works perfectly. He is the angel just following orders, and one that positively stinks of 90s era cool. You know from the first time you see him on screen that he was the perfect casting choice for Simon.<br/><br/>What makes it better is Adam Goldberg, the man that is always cast in the same sort of roles. That is the slightly dorky Jew. He's really the same character he was in Saving Private Ryan, only far more pathetic. But he also provides the comic relief as a walking, decaying, reanimated corpse forced back to life to be Walken's unwilling and lippy servant. The movie needed elements of relief to keep it grounded enough to appeal to the none Biblically inclined and Goldberg, well, he does his job and makes you laugh.<br/><br/>What you have here is a small film with a small budget and a great cast and it works. It works better than anyone can imagine, partially because the surreal quality of the script needed a small budget to keep it believable, and partially because the production quality forced everyone to relay on a very well written story and weigh it all on a cast that could turn it into something memorable.<br/><br/>The result is a film that is endlessly watchable
- This movie was boring. Sure, it had a few clever moments such as when Gabriel had the little kids playing the trumpet to see if any of them had that guy's soul in them, but the movie couldn't hold my attention. It just wasn't interesting. Slow moving, uninspired film that was a surprisingly bad waste of time.
- The angel Simon (<a href="/name/nm0000655/">Eric Stoltz</a>) 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 (<a href="/name/nm0811528/">Moriah 'Shining Dove' Snyder</a>). When the archangel Gabriel (<a href="/name/nm0000686/">Christopher Walken</a>) 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 (<a href="/name/nm0000480/">Elias Koteas</a>). 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: <a href="/title/tt0118643/">The Prophecy II (1998)</a> (1998) and <a href="/title/tt0183678/">The Prophecy 3: The Ascent (2000)</a> (2000), both also written by Widen, plus <a href="/title/tt0365658/">The Prophecy: Uprising (2005)</a> (2005), and <a href="/title/tt0439771/">The Prophecy: Forsaken (2005)</a> (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 (<a href="/name/nm0625133/">Albert Nelson</a>) and the elders of her clan are preparing for the Enemy Ghost Way ceremony. Meanwhile, Gabriel has resurrected Rachel (<a href="/name/nm0001625/">Amanda Plummer</a>), a dying woman who he wants to drive him to Old Woman Butte. Lucifer (<a href="/name/nm0001557/">Viggo Mortensen</a>) 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. a5c7b9f00b
