Johnny's comments:

Orphans And Angels is a 2003, well, an unconventional noir thriller where Theresa (Emmeline Hawthorne) meets John (Christopher Brown) after she watches her friend Kim (comedian Cal Wilson) mutilate herself on stage while John bets a groom-to-be to drink a pot of hard liquor which he does and promptly dies. They hit it off despite her reticence, particularly as she's a rape victim who doesn't like being touched. He starts giving her ecstasy and she starts drifting off in between bouts of mutual masturbation.

Meanwhile, John joins up with his drug dealer buddy and starts selling drugs again. Kim is very suspicious of John - and it turns out he probably killed his ex-girlfriend, also named Theresa. He may be slowly killing Theresa. After Kim talks to Theresa and tells her about him, she gives her a gun to protect herself and when John finds out, he decides to kill Kim and then up his control of Theresa. Can Theresa get out of John's clutches?

Very odd movie, hard to pin down and has some intriguing elements but Theresa is a hard character to get into because she spends most of the movie in a daze, making the ending of the movie more than a little implausible. But there's enough going on to keep interest, it just doesn't quite hit all the right buttons.
