The Crow: City of Angels is a 1996 American action-thriller film which is a sequel to the 1994 cult classic, The Crow. Directed by Tim Pope, the film stars Vincent Perez in the lead role, Mia Kirshner, Richard Brooks, and Iggy Pop among others. The movie follows the story of Ashe Corven (Vincent Perez), who, along with his son Danny, are brutally murdered by a gang of thugs. Ashe is resurrected by a mystical crow, who gives him superhuman powers, including the ability to heal instantly, super-strength, and the ability to breathe underwater. With the help of the crow, Ashe sets out for revenge against the gang who murdered him and his son, leading him to a dangerous and corrupt city of angels - Los Angeles.

Ashe's path to vengeance is complicated when he meets Sarah (Mia Kirshner), a stunning and mysterious painter, who becomes entangled in his quest for revenge. The duo, with the help of the mystical crow, must work together to bring justice to the world of the living.

One of the most striking aspects of the movie is its visual style. The movie features some of the most iconic and surreal set pieces, including a nightclub that doubles as a Church, and a haunting sequence in a graveyard where the concept of time seems to slip away. The visuals are complemented by an electric soundtrack that features some of the best alternative and rock bands of the 90s, including White Zombie, Korn, and Hole.

One of the most important themes of the movie is the concept of redemption. Through Ashe's journey of revenge, he is haunted by the guilt of his past actions, and with the help of Sarah, he is forced to confront his inner demons and find a way to move on from his tragic past.

The movie is full of memorable performances. Vincent Perez shines as Ashe, giving a performance that is both powerful and deeply emotional. Mia Kirshner is equally impressive, delivering a nuanced and complex portrayal of her character Sarah. Richard Brooks shines as the main villain, Judah Earl, bringing a sense of menace and gravitas to the role.

Overall, The Crow: City of Angels is a stylish and thrilling action movie that manages to capture the spirit of the original while bringing its own unique twist to the story. Although it may not live up to the cult status of its predecessor, it remains an entertaining and visually stunning movie that is well worth a watch.

The Crow: City of Angels is a 1996 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 24 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.6.
