Memory Lane - Gabriel

Does anyone remember the movie "Gabriel"?


Gabriel is a 2007 movie about the fight for control of purgatory.  Archangels Amatiel, Sammael, Michael, Asmodeus, Raphael and Uriel have all tried and failed to bring the light back to purgatory.  It is now up to Gabriel, the last of the archangels, to win the fight against the dark.  Archangel Gabriel was played by Welsh born Australian actor Andy Whitfield.  Andy has appeared in several Australian television series, such as Opening Up, All Saints, The Strip, Packed to the Rafters, and McLeod's Daughters.  He also starred in the 2010 television series Spartacus: Blood and Sand, which was filmed in New Zealand.

The movie, Gabriel, was directed by Shane Abbess, who is also known for other works such as Source Code 2011, Gabriel: Sins of the Father which is due for release in 2013 and TV series - Event Zero.

Gabriel received mixed reviews upon its opening in 2007; however grossed $AU656,000 in its opening week.


Unfortunately, in September 2011 Andy lost his battle with cancer and passed away.

The sequel Gabriel: Sins of the Father is about fallen archangel, Gabriel's, son who is forced to fight an evil bigger than anyone has seen before.

I personally am a big fan of Gabriel and intend to also watch its sequel when it is released in 2013.  What did everyone else think of this movie?  Let me know, I'd love to hear!
