Avenging Angelo Reviews

I liked this movie alot. Stallone was great in this as was Madeline Stowe. :) Just a great movie!

This was Anthony Quinn's final film and he plays an aging Mafia Godfather (Angelo) trying to make amends with the daughter (Madeleine Stowe) that never knew him. Sly plays Frankie, loyal bodyguard to Angelo who has been watching and keeping her safe throughout her life. When Angelo is murdered, Frankie seeks out the daughter to deliver a tape but when she finds out about her real family ties, she wants to avenge Angelo's death, hence the film's title. The plot is fairly predictable but Stallone and Stowe make it watchable.

I think this was a good movie and one that I had surely not seen before. The story line was great and I could not wait to see it happen to a nicer person, ya know guy gets girl sort of thing.

I am so happy that my friend got me onto this web site because now I can see the movies that I have always wanted without worry. Thank you my friend.

I like this movie lots. The cover is deceiving, I thought it was a serious movie, but it turned out to be a romantic comedy. Highly recommended.

Stallone's worst film. This comedy/crime movie is almost as embarassing to watch. Makes Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot look like Rocky. Although it does have Stallone punching the butt of a farting corpse.

Nothing worthy of awards but a nice diversion. Predictable. The most annoying role I think I have ever seen Madelaine Stowe play. Also, they went to some lengths to make her look ghoulish in their attmepts to make her look... Italian? It was NOT a good look! She is much prettier in Stakeout.

I kept wondering if maybe Angelo had told Frankie to keep his distance from Jennifer because in reality, Frankie was Angelo's love child and thus, Jennifer's half brother.

I think in the end, they wanted you to believe that these two "beautiful people" fell in love and lived happily ever after. But they aren't actually all that beautiful and that just makes it that much more endearing. When they found each other - then they had everything they'd ever wanted! And it was there, waiting for them, all along ~

this is funny and kind of romantic. why did people rate this so low? sylvester stallone does a good job and the girl who plays the housewife does such a good job!

Its seems like they just grabbed some random scenes, and put them all together, and said "its a movie"

I have this movie and I watch it all the time!

Looking at the front cover you already Expect A full blown action experience Well thats not the case at all. I was really disapointed with this so called action romantic mobster comedy. This Will appeal to some people but i Wont recommend this one.

Avenging Angelo Mafia-comedy film directed by Martyn Burke. Starring Sylvester Stallone and Madeleine Stowe also stars late Anthony Quinn in his last film that he appeared.

Frankie (Sylvester Stallone) is longtime protector of aging-mafia-boss Angelo (Anthony Quinn), he's been protecting him and his daughter for years. After Angelo is killed by his enemies, Frankie must approach Angelo's married daughter Jennifer (Madeleine Stowe) who has been brought-up by foster parents.

The most prominent flaw of the movie, is its loose script and storyline, otherwise movie has excellent lighting, and some hilarious-scenes. Sly is one of few actors whom I respect from the bottom of my heart, it's beyond explaining that here in this movie he so lavishly puts his character, he is good to look at. A fair movie!

A very good Comedy/Action & Adventure.

AVENGING ANGELO (2002)

A very predictable, slow paced romantic drama. Mafia boss' body guard is assigned to guard his daughter who doesn't know she is a Mafia boss' kid. Can you guess the rest of the movie? You can skip this movie.

If you get a chance to see this movie on Showtime watch it. Loved it but it got Rotten Tomatoes awards. Funny, funny movie.

i found it most romantic....

A unique story, with an interesting brand of humor. Most people will not understand what about this movie is supposed to be funny, but those of us who do will spend most of it dying of laughter. No idea why it was so low-rated. I liked it a lot.

Avenging Angelo is a very unique kind of movie. To enjoy Avenging Angelo you've got to be able to understand Stallone's kind of humor. Which most people do no since this movie is not rated highly. I have never been a big fan of Stallone's comedy (Oscar)(Stop or my mom will shoot). However I can assure you that Avenging Angelo is nothing like his other comedy attempts.
Stallone plays the role of a bodyguard (Franky Delano) hired by ex- mobster Angelo (Anthonny Quinn) who gets killed so Franky's new job is to protect Angelo's daughter, who does not even know that Angelo is her father.
Avenging Angelo is a very entertaining movie, with a few laughs in between!!
Long-time actor Anthonny Quinn died when Avenging Angelo was in the works, but they did all the scenes that he is in first, since they did not know how long he had left. Avengling Angelo is his last ever role he played in.
