	Media	Author	Review
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"The preposterous outpowers the fun (...) But maybe, for some, it can still work as an escape from the preposterous depths to which the real American presidency has fallen."
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"The 'Fallen' series rises a bit (...) [It] may not be appreciably better than the first two installments (...) but it's actually more fun — first and foremost because of a vastly amusing turn by Nick Nolte"
		Jeff Sneider Collider	"A significant improvement over its 2016 predecessor (...) Banning just might be the role that Butler is ultimately remembered for."
		Hau Chu The Washington Post	"Most action flicks would settle for thrilling violence and mayhem(...) 'Angel' flips this formula on its head, delivering a surprisingly coherent story but with no discernible sense of fun.(…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		Joey Esposito IGN	"[It] still can’t match the fun, over-the-top, highest-stakes-possible action romp of Olympus, but does offer a fresh perspective on this world that’s a little less self-important than its predecessor."
		Phil de Semlyen Time Out	"It’s frenetic, brashly executed and so full of shooting, you’ll stagger away with tinnitus (...) Nolte lands a cracker (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Mike McCahill The Guardian	"Everything’s too dashed off to make much of these flickers of inspiration, but flickers it has, and Butler is becoming a low-key selling point (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		John Nugent Empire	"A 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 (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
