Will play the Mossad’s most famous agent, Eli Cohen, tipping Israel off about the pending attack by Egypt and Syria in October 1973, Moshe Dayan opposed pre-Yom Kippur War call-up due to fears of U.S. Instead, we get some uninvolving spy games in which Marwan is followed across London by both suspicious Mossad agents and Egyptians working at the behest of a disgraced former Egyptian minister who (wisely, as it turns out) doesn’t trust him. Sign in Some 7,000 Ethiopian Jews were exfiltrated from Sudan to Israel by Mossad agents who had set up a fake diving resort on the Red Sea for the operation. What we get instead is a thriller without thrills and a drama where all of the real action takes place off-screen. Either that or stay totally true to the facts and stop with the embellishments (which would definitely rule out the film’s depiction of how the Mossad blackmails Marwan into working for Israel, when he was actually a “walk-in” asset at the Israeli Embassy in London). Indeed, “The Angel” is on pretty safe ground when it suggests that Nasser’s harsh treatment of his son-in-law was one of the reasons Marwan eventually became a Mossad asset.
