A fascinating tale, delivered with just enough suspense to make it engrossing without feeling over the top.

Marwan never questions the validity of his actions. He barely shows any signs of regret or inner torment over his possible betrayal of his country, confirming in the process that Israel's cause is just.

The Angel is a failed promise of a movie that could have been a good espionage thriller. [Full Review in Spanish]

4/5

It'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.

A good introduction to the thorny and complicated relationship between Egypt and Israel, told from the perspective of a real-life hero to both countries.

2/5

The 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.

Great movie...riveting story...well-acted..suspenseful....the story is complex, but not over the top. Historically, from what I can gather, it is fairly accurate. Well worth watching

Netflix in History Channel version: didactic, interesting for fans of the genre, not for those interested in the 7th art. (Mauro Lanari)

Anyone who saves Israel is an angel - that's the moral of the story. What a B.S. Everyone one is a villain except Israel. A movie made for Zionists lovers.

Loved the biopic, it's the best spy thriller I have watched, hard to believe it's based on actual events. Ashraf Marwan is surely among the greatest Spy of the 20th century. The casting of historical figures and their performances are great, Marwan Kenzari delivers a killer performance.

Very well done thriller based on a true story of the only Egyptian recognized by both Egypt & Israel as a national hero, while playing both sides with his family's lives at stake.
