Review of City of Angels (1998) by Dann M — 18 Jul 2012
City of Angels starts out with a lot of promise and potential, but ends up squandering it. Nicolas Cage plays an angel who becomes infatuated with a human woman (Meg Ryan), and contemplates falling to Earth to become human so that he can be with her.
Unfortunately, the romance comes off as forced and Cage and Ryan don't have very good chemistry. The depiction of angels in the film is quite interesting, but never gets explored in any depth, nor does much else.
There are many interesting concepts and idea in City of Angels, but the film doesn't know what to do with them.
