Leave your thoughts about The Angel.
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloSome violence in fact-based foreign spy thriller. |
| Jerusalem PostHannah BrownAll in all, [The Angel] is an entertaining look at a little-known story from recent history. |
| Radio TimesAndrew CollinsIt's intricately plotted, seriously acted (Yorkshireman Toby Kebbell is convincing as Marwan's Israeli handler) and serves as a brief history lesson that's stranger than fiction. |
| Film InquiryJosh MartinIt's a sporadically interesting, mostly dull history lesson. |
| The Daily DotKahron SpearmanUltimately The Angel works on its whole, largely on Vromen's excellent direction and the stiff back of Kenzari, who turns in a masterful performance. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckA fascinating tale, delivered with just enough suspense to make it engrossing without feeling over the top. |
| Gulf News (UAE)Omar ShariffWhile clearly told from the Israeli perspective, the film is rather sober in the way it conveys the message. And the pace is more Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, less Jason Bourne. |
| DeciderJoel KellerA good introduction to the thorny and complicated relationship between Egypt and Israel, told from the perspective of a real-life hero to both countries. |
| HaaretzAdrian HenniganThe film can only scratch the surface of this amazing story, and by doing so actually makes it seem much less remarkable than it really is. |
| User ReviewMostafa SThe best movie I've seen yet, a perfect story with an amazing ending. |
