Besides the fact that Ryan's hairdo is ridiculous in this flick, can any of us really believe she is a heart surgeon? I know I know; I'll be the first to admit that Ryan is the most type-cast actress in Hollywood, but I couldn't take her seriously.

I think the cinematographer had some trouble with his camera the whole time, because a good 90 minutes of the picture involves close-ups of Ryan's and Cage's eyes. If that's supposed to convey a sense of deep-seated emotion, it wasn't working. Personally, it creeped me out.

Nicholas Cage plays an angel who doesn't know any human feelings like touch or taste, etc. He falls in love with a heart surgeon and "falls" to earth to be with her. He somehow convinces the heart surgeon that he is an angel, she falls in love with him, they screw around (if that's not a powerful way to learn the sensation of touch, I don't know what is), blah blah blah. I won't give away the rest, but let me just say it didn't get any better from there. We are forced to suffer through long drawn-out periods of Seth the angel looking sorrowful at Maggie the surgeon. Again with the close-in camera eye shots.

Okay, if you were in a library and some creepy guy dressed all in black was following you around, talked to you, and then said he was a "messenger of god", would you stand there and chuckle, and then invite him back to your place? I sure wouldn't. If he then offered to show me this movie I'd think he wasn't a messenger of God but a messenger of someone else, if you know what I mean.
