The film was originally produced for Fox as the pilot episode of a series that never materialized. It aired on the network on September 10, 1996.
New Orleans Police Department detective Walter D'Arcangelo is the only link to a serial killer who preys on adulterous women. In order to clear his name, Walter must solve the case before the killer strikes again.
Fox originally announced Dark Angel as a series in development for the 1996–97 television schedule, and produced this film as its pilot episode.[1] Filming took place on location in New Orleans.[1][2]
The film premiered on Fox on September 10, 1996, as part of the network's Tuesday Night Movie series.[3]
Carole Horst from Variety wrote: "Script by TV vet John Romano doesn't flag as mystery unfolds at a leisurely pace, although Roberts gets the only fully fleshed out character, delivering a sexy, wiseguy performance. Most everyone else has to walk that line between hip irony and outright overacting. Most fall on the wrong side. Robert Iscove's direction is crisp and straightforward; Linda Burton's production design and Francis Kenny's camera make good use of the flavor of the city."[2]
