When elderly Mafia boss Angelo (Anthony Quinn) gets killed in a restaurant, his loyal bodyguard, Frankie (Sylvester Stallone), decides he must protect Angelo's daughter -- high-strung socialite Jennifer (Madeleine Stowe) -- who may also be in danger. Jennifer, however, doesn't even realize that Angelo is her father, as he gave her up for adoption years ago. After Frankie tells her the truth, she sets out to avenge Angelo's death with a very shaky understanding of Mafia protocol.

[The movie occasionally resembles a movie-of-the-week], complete with romantic montages set to sappy rock ballads...

Rated: 2.5/4

Stallone cria um personagem simptico, mas o pssimo roteiro e a falta de talento do diretor transformam o filme em uma experincia lamentavelmente ruim - e Madeleine Stowe j pode se aposentar depois de oferecer a pior performance de sua carreira.

Rated: 1/5

Sly - despite his seemingly unquenchable desire to prove me otherwise - deserves better than this.

The script is a bit flimsy but the cast is fine. While Avenging Angelo is far from a must-see, it can still be somewhat entertaining for those who appreciate the talent involved, even if the script does not do them full justice.

While it is not a typical Stallone movie he actually gives a very sincere performance. Sure it not Rocky or such but it show another side of him,

I like dark comedies, but I found very few times I laughed at anything and I was just waiting for the movie to end as soon as as I went to the middle of the run time.

While Sylvester Stallone (Daylight, F.I.S.T.) gives a decent performance it blend of Romcom and action movie is bizarre and the score by Oscar nominee Bill Conti (F/X, Year of the Gun) is very awful
