Picking up from where 'Prophecy II' left off, the last sequel to feature Walken comes full circle. The war over heaven is still ongoing, but it all gets tied together at the end of 'The Ascent'. At only 80 mins, the story moves at a good pace & remains entertaining if you enjoyed the previous entries.
Danyael (Dave Buzzotta) born of a union between his human mother and an angel has now grown up to be a young man. Half angel, half human. He too has lost his faith in God. Pyriel (Scott Cleverdon) the angel of death has replaced Gabriel with the same intent he once had of making things go back the way they were. Zophael (Vincent Spano) a fellow angel is his tool to accomplish this on earth by killing Danyael. Former angel Gabriel (Walken) having learnt the error of his ways acts as his mortal protector of sorts.
Brad Dourif puts in a bit appearance as a religious zealot. Kayren Butler is effective as Danyael's girlfriend Maggie. Steve Hynter is still here as the medical examiner who's seen it all. Once again to no surprise Walken is the glue. Forgive the pun - but he's a lot more down to earth here. Gabriel having been knocked off his high horse.
Zophael (Spano) has a ritualistic blade to remove Danyael's heart where once bare hands sufficed. Some characters established in the original film make bit appearances which was a nice touch. Walken delivers a fun quote or two. Very much a dtv sequel to a series that was starting to wear thin, I enjoyed this entry but didn't bother going any further with two more sequels that appeared afterwards.
