Angelo, a godfather-type mafiosi, is killed and his bodyguard Frankie has to protect his only daughter. But the girl was raised in a foster family knowing nothing of her real dad’s activities.
Sylvester Stallone is finished. Avenging Angelo is the lowest possible level a former star can reach. The movie isn’t even a bad studio picture, it’s an independently produced, straight-to-video piece of trash, filled with dead stars (Anthony Quinn), and has-beens (what ever happened to Madeleine Stowe ?). The movie is weak, badly acted, rarely funny, incoherent. All the clichés of old mafia movies are here and the script slowly drowns in its own lack of imagination or creativity. No characters, no interest, no humour, you name it. Avenging Angelo is sub-zero, below ground level, down in the bowels of the Earth. Stallone is at times touching but his comedic talent will forever be lower than that of his eternal rival Schwarzenegger. Sly tries to be moving, funny and impressive at the same time and nothing works. He’s just a big peace of meat floating around in a world with no vision, no point of view, no future. Let’s forget Avenging Angelo.
