Review of City of Angels (1998) by Blanky A — 05 May 2010
What gives the movie its special grace is the exquisite, nuanced acting of Cage as the rebel, Pinocchio-like angel who wants to be a real boy. Using expressive movements and slightly stylized gestures, he gives one of his most low-key and lyrical performances.
Casting aside her customary "cute" look, Ryan excels as a down-to-earth surgeon whose entire set of beliefs is shaken by her encounter with Seth. Impressive supporting work also comes from TV's two tough cops, Franz, as a free spirit who fully embraces life's pleasures, and Braugher, as the more serene angel.
