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.

William A Nov 23 If this isn’t the sly movie that Zach would phobe, he’s lying. Dishonest podcaster. Who is this movie for? Ben Affleck? See more Norman G Jan 17 I thought it was a great movie with an awesome soundtrack See more yo a Jan 14 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. See more PL W 08/12/2024 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, See more Jelisije J 03/29/2024 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. See more 08/26/2016 It's OK, nothing special. See more Read all reviews
