City of Angels (1998)
Searching for depth but not finding it
Although the filming is slick and (I have to admit) beautiful (you actually believe that Cage is an angel), it fails to sustain momentum after a promising start.
Going nowhere in particular half way through the film, Silberling gives no particular reason why he chooses Ryan's particular predicament.
The Assignment (1997)
Weak throughout
If you like well developed characters, then this one is NOT for you. None of them manage to pull off what they are meant to portray and the most enjoyable aspect were some of the nude scenes which should be a (brief) feast for the eye for both sexes alike.
Sutherland's voice is great as always but the movie does not manage to put the viewer in touch with the real Carlos.
Most disappointing is the yawning predictability (no surprises) of what is meant to be a spy thriller.
