Australian star Paul Hogan just couldn't seem to come up with a hit comparable to his 1986 international hit Crocodile Dundee. Hogan's Almost an Angel was a nice try, but no cigar. The star plays a lifelong thief who suffers a potentially fatal accident. While "in limbo", Hogan is visited by God (amusingly played by Charlton Heston-well, why not Charlton Heston?). When he recovers, Hogan is convinced that he'd been returned to the land of the living in order to do God's work. He turns over a new leaf, coming to the assistance of wheelchair-bound Elias Koteas and his pretty sister Linda Kozlowski (the real-life Mrs. Hogan). At first suspicious of Hogan, Kozlowski is finally won over by his new-found sincerity. So lightweight that it threatens to float away at any moment, Almost an Angel is held together exclusively by Paul Hogan's star appeal. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to insure a box-office success. Hal Erickson, Rovi

If you liked his "Croc...Movies" you will enjoy thisone. Paul plays Terry Dean a just released Burgler turned Bankrobber . After two near near death experences / seeing God ( a Great Cameo by...) after pushing a girl out of the way of a car , he decides he has been givin a second chance as a Angel. He befriends Steve/ Elias Koteas/ a man in a wheelchair after a bar brawl, yep he is the one throwing the punches at the handicaped . Terry meets Steves sister Rose/ played by Linda Kozlowski / and decides to help them with their youth center.Terry is not Mick Dundee but they could be related in the way they deal with problems. The movie has a good message behind it and by the end you are not sure if Terry was really a Angel or not.
