What is missing is any sort of psychological insight. Just what made Renato run? You won't find out here. Jun 17, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

To borrow Robert Evans's famous quotation about "The Godfather," you can smell the spaghetti, but less sauce might have helped. Jun 16, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Gangster clichés fly like submachine gun bullets in the Italian crime biopic "Angel of Evil," a restless and hollow rundown of '70s criminal Renato Vallanzasca. Jun 16, 2011 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

As a tale of squabbling gangsters and prison intrigues, "Angel of Evil" is ordinary. Jun 16, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/4

You can all but feel the checklist being marked off, and the viewer is never really drawn into the world or made to care what's happening. Jun 14, 2011 | Full Review…

Emotional, intense and truly shocking at times, the movie presents the known facts on a golden plate for the audience to make up their own mind. It's violent, raw, vibrating with tension and punctuated with clever irony. Nov 9, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Not to indulge in cliché, but given that Rossi Stuart penned the script with five other writers, it probably shouldn't be a surprise that so many cooks created a meal that's all sauce and no spaghetti. Jun 24, 2011 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

It's a bit of a plod, violent and overlong, from which we learn only this: even the Italians dressed badly in the 1970s. May 27, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Cmpetently made, but after Mesrine, the recent Carlos The Jackal film and the Mafiathemed Gomorrah, this is one sub-genre that's fast reaching saturation point. May 27, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The main reason to see this is a charismatic leading performance by Kim Rossi Stuart. Even so, it makes two hours feel like four. May 26, 2011 | Rating: 0/5 | Full Review…

Christopher Tookey
Stylish, thrilling true-crime film based on the story of Italian mobster Renato Vallanzasca. Charismatically played by the superb Kim Rossi Stuart, there's validity in the argument that the film glamourises, sometimes even approves of his crimes. But there's real technical skill in front and behind of the camera and as a piece of cinema it's quite something.
