Reception
Don Shirley of the Los Angeles Times used a quote from the movie to sum it up, "Stupid, but interesting" and he says "one wonders if Michael Patrick Goodman wrote this pack of cliches as a gag."[3] Jerry Krupnick panned the predictable nature of film in the Star-Ledger and said "The strange thing is that this obvious flick has a good cast and was directed by a true TV veteran, Marvin Chomsky".[4] The Columbia Record's Ray Benson called it a solid movie that had a "pretty good script".[1] Critic Peter Malone called it "a routine action telemovie."[5] Kay Gardella's capsual review in Daily News called it a "so-so, watch-it-if-you want-to, harmless entry".[6] Noel Taylor's capsual review in Daily News says "Angel In Green just plain embarrasses."[7]
