Set in a Northern Ireland beset by paramilitary extortion rackets, “Angel” follows the story of Danny (Stephen Rea), a saxophonist with a traveling band witnesses the gangland murder of the band’s manager at a dancehall in South Armagh. There is little explicit reference to the “Troubles” but the violence and insecurity serve as a backdrop to Danny’s quest to hunt down the murderers. In doing so his relationship with Deirdre, the singer in his band, falls apart and he becomes a murderer himself.
