Angel III: The Final Chapter is a 1988 American action thriller film written and directed by Tom DeSimone.[2] It is the third installment in the Angel film series, and stars Mitzi Kapture in the role of Molly, a former prostitute.[3]
Premise
[edit]Molly, now a freelance photographer (having apparently abandoned law school) living in New York City, is at an art show and accidentally takes a picture of a woman who turns out to be her mother, who abandoned her over 14 years ago. Molly learns she has a sister and both are connected to a dangerous crime element. Molly goes to Los Angeles to find out if the woman is her mother. The reunion is short-lived when her mother calls her to tell her that her sister is in danger and later, her mother is killed in an explosion. Molly must once again become Angel to try and find her sister.
