...CITY OF ANGELS does a haunting job of creating a lifestyle and a look for its heavenly creatures...
Los Angeles Times
Apr 10, 1998
Rating: C -- City of Angels is the sort of compromised movie that could have been almost good, but decided to be a great big hit instead.

Rating: 3/4 -- My face had been locked in that goofy, awestruck expression you experience only in Spielberg movies. City of Angels demonstrates the best kind of emotionally manipulative filmmaking. Full Review

...It succeeds, thanks to Nicholas Cage's lovable puppy-dog-eyed appeal...

Rating: 3/5 -- It manages to leave a pleasant afterglow for those in the mood for its kind of loving. Full Review

Rating: C- -- An emotionally uninvolving flick that attempts to play on the heart strings of the viewer and fails in its effort. Full Review

City of Angels raises theological questions, albeit in a somewhat pedestrian manner, and makes them an integral part of its otherwise formulaic plot.

Product Description:

Based in part on Wim Wenders's 1988 film, WINGS OF DESIRE, this is the story of Seth (Nicolas Cage), an angel who wanders the Los Angeles area invisible to humans. As someone's death approaches, he spends time near that person and becomes visible while acting as traveling companion during the trip to the great hereafter. His discovery of a distraught heart surgeon, Maggie (Meg Ryan), inspires him to forego his immortality and exist on earth with her as a feeling and mortal entity.
