An interesting true story but I came away slightly underwhelmed. The politics went over my head at times, and while that may be my own dimwittedness, I still wish more was done to appeal to simpletons like myself!

I am always up for a good spy movie. More so if it is based on real facts. I don't think the portrayal of events is 100% accurate. Movies always add content for dramatisation or to fill in gaps that are unknown. Of course I know about the general incident. And, as far as the quality of the movie is concerned, I thought it was interesting and well made. A little bit hard to follow at times in regards to timelines. But not since "Dances with Wolves" have I watched a movie with that much subtitles.

Could be better, I guess. The acting isn't good, but the movie is interesting.

The Angel is like a hotel blanket: it covers a lot but isn't very stylish. This movie (based on a true story) looks like history written by the victor, tbh. Ashraf Marwan, an Egyptian man (son-in-law to the king) with a penchant for gambling, curiosity regarding sexcapades, and a crippling debt decides to spy for Israel because he wants ... [checks notes] to bring about world peace. Nothing about money, of course (they even show him forgetting to take the money during one is his trips, so there you go, must be true). Plus he didn't sleep with the hot British actress who was throwing herself at him and who he was photographed kissing (he's married, he kept telling her). Nope, just him being a nice guy selflessly saving humanity. There's even a card at the end saying he's the only guy in the world whose viewed as a hero by both Egypt and Israel. (What's Bob Seger's phone number? ' Cause I wanna call BS.) What's just as bad, the whole film is framed as a retelling of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, but that story isn't at all coherent with what happens in the film, so every 'aha' moment ends up an 'aw shit' moment. Someone thought they had a good idea for a movie but it turned out to be a dubious edit to a wiki page.

Horrible israeli propaganda. Garbage and boring.
