Ratings and reviews

This is the movie that finally made Nic Cage's true talent "click". Even after watching Wicker Man a year before, I thought Cage was just being comedic. No--there was so much more to his ability to act with an intensity that no other actor can bring to the table. The aftermath of Meg Ryan seeing the semitruck triggers Nic Cage's true, final form. No one else can pull this off. And he continues to deliver to this day. Watch any movie he made before this, too, and you'll realize he is the greatest

It may be in German, but the original Wings Of Desire made more sense and had better actors ultimately better movie all around. This Cage, Ryan sappy mindless roller coaster ride of deadpan emotions felt like a broken magic fingers bed at $20 a nite $5 deposit on the sheets motor inn complete with stains of unknown origin on the carpet. Watch with the expectation of a tooth extraction directly at the end and you may feel it was an ok movie when no dentist knocks on your door.

Favorite movie and soundtrack of all time.Have found themto both be exceptional for my heart and soul since day one; both movie and soundtract And I am a complete romantic to the core! With a recent reason to be for the first time in my life. I thought that I have had true romance in the past but have now met my soulmate half way through life. And I thank God for that one time happening and off the charts experience also and a five star rating to you also "my Angel!"William
