Reviews & comments
The Guardian
pressAs with many of [Butler's] recent projects, it's been compiled with minimal quality control, insistently cancelling out its better ideas with turns for the derivative.
Variety
pressAs staged by director Ric Roman Waugh, the film's hand-to-hand combat is so routine it's deadening - and, for that matter, so is its assault-rifle-to-assault-rifle combat.
Empire Magazine
pressA big, lumbering bastard of an action movie sequel. It achieves more-or-less exactly what it promises - which, given this franchise's track record, is a low bar to clear.
Sydney Morning Herald
press[Nick Nolte] can still summon up the enthusiasm to pump some much needed pep into the dialogue. Butler, who's also looking very tired, perks up considerably once they begin to banter.
Total Film
pressMaudlin, glum and distinctly cheap-looking, Angel brings the curtain down on a trilogy that should have never got this far.
Stuff
pressThis is mostly just a tired, lazy, unambitious and only ever unintentionally funny plod through the cliches.
The New York Times
press"The Fugitive," to which "Angel" owes perhaps even its rooftop finale, is a template against which this movie inevitably falls short.
Time Out
pressIt's frenetic, brashly executed and so full of shooting, you'll stagger away with tinnitus.
