Product Description

From Amazon.com

Sylvester Stallone spins a lighter, more romantic version of his tough guy image in Avenging Angelo. For his entire life, Frankie (Stallone) has been protecting Jennifer (Madeleine Stowe), the daughter of a mob boss named Angelo (Anthony Quinn)--but she doesn't know it, any more than she knows that Angelo is her father. When Angelo gets hit, Frankie reveals the truth. Having just caught her husband with another woman, Jennifer isn't receptive to the rest of her life upended; but after accepting her heritage, she decides to avenge her father. If none of this sounds particularly funny, well, it isn't; the problem is, it's supposed to be. Avenging Angelo flounders in search of a coherent comic tone and never finds it. Stowe is always engaging and Stallone's softer touch is surprisingly appealing, but not a moment of this dopey script makes any sense. --Bret Fetzer

Video Details

During a shootout in a New York City restaurant, Mafia Boss Angelo Allieghieri (Anthony Quinn) is gunned down and his bodyguard Frankie Biggio (Sylvester Stallone) survives. Narrowly escaping death, Frankie remembers he must uphold his oath to protect Angelo's only child, Jennifer (Madeline Stowe). Eventually, the two devise a dangerous plan to avenge Angelo's murder.

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm surprised by the bad reviews here., Jun 29 2004
This review is from: Avenging Angelo (DVD)
In my view this is far from being as terrible as some reviewers suggest. In fact I can honestly say I enjoyed both Sylvester Stallone and Madelaine Stowe, whose chemistry was obvious and very pleasant. The plot is not as good as the acting, which is subtle and fun, but even when the story hits low points it's all in a light comedic spirit so who really cares. Good job Sly.

1.0 out of 5 stars It is so boring., April 17 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Avenging Angelo (DVD)
It is so strange for a famous actor like Stallone to play as bad as Stowe; may be it is competition between them to make you exhausted of watching this film. This boring story is about a bodyguard, which has been repeated in different films many times. The worst is the director who could not manage the film. After 15 minutes it made me sleep. I regret for the money that I paid for the DVD.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stallone Deserves Another Razzie Award, Mar 10 2004
By 
Gus Mauro "coolbrezze" (Brandon,mb) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Avenging Angelo (DVD)
This film is so stupid and pointless it's no wonder it went straight to video and it's hurting Stallone's Career. Stallone
plays Frankie Delano a hitman who works for mob boss Angelo(Last Performence from legendary actor Anthony Quinn) whose job is to watch over his boss's daughter (Madeline Stowe) And after Angleo is gunned down in a restauraunt Delano Confronts Angelo's daughter and tells her who he really is and that her father was mob boss. Then Later she decides to accept her herritage and avenge her father's death with Delano. Quite Simply a lame moronic script with no story structure whatsoever, in one scene Stallone pushes an intruder off a balconey The Next Stallone is trying to teach Stowe how to walk with attitude. The Movie Goes from action to comedy, to romance, to plain slapstick with the fight scenes so bad and the acting worse you begin to cringe thinking why is
Stallone trying to wreck his carrer on purpose. As for Madeline stowe who is a great actress in her own right made such a stupid mistake taking part in this mismatched film. This film Has to be
#1 on Stallone's Worst Films Of My Career List.
