Avenging Angelo

Rating:
Summary: Kiss & Kill
Review: "Avenging Angelo" is a fairly good movie, but one I enjoyed despite its shortcomings. It will forever be remembered as the last film of Anthony Quinn's long and illustrious career. Quinn does a good job of playing the mobster with a heart. Sylvester Stallone looks great & has enough puppy dog eyes directed at Madeleine Stowe to charm the coldest of hearts. Stowe as Jennifer does a good job at giving reality to her rich girl with a rocky marriage character. The give and take between she and Stallone keeps the romantic aspect alive. Italian actor Raoul Bova does a good job as the pseudo-writer who charms Jennifer. I'm not sure if it's Harry Van Gorkum or Kip Barrett who played the husband, but he did a great job of being irritating. My favorite moment is when the drugged Jennifer crashes the car in the driveway, only to find her husband making whoopee in the pool with her best friend. This was apparently Martyn Burke's first feature directing job. He had previously written the screenplay for "Gross Anatomy" starring Matthew Modine. The difficulty with the flick is the pull between the romance and the mafia hits. There is humor in the film, kind of a feature-length "Sopranos." For its shortcomings, this is still a pleasant evening's entertainment. Of course, you'll want to see Anthony Quinn one last time. Enjoy!

Summary: I like Stallone but go see Get Carter or something else beca
Review: At the movie store they say it's a action movie, yet when I watched it there is no action scene's at all. In fact this is more like a romantic comedy then anything else stuck in the gangster genre. But then again this movie isn't even that funny and the romance chemistry between Stallone and Stowe just doesn't click. I like Stallone but go rent Get Carter instead if you want something considerably new from him and actually worth your time and money.

Summary: And you thought "Plan 9 from Outer Space" was a bad movie.
Review: I can't believe that this was a major production. Awful. Terrible. A waste of money.

Summary: well?---hmmmnn!
Review: I did not hate the movie, I found it quaint with a very hurried up finale. I do think the humor was there, but the writers could have done a better job with it. I think sly and madeline had a decent chemistry but failed to captilize on that area. this movie could be stated as a guilty pleasure but could have been better. rent it, but keep it cheap and have a good time with it and the popcorn.

Summary: Romanticism!
Review: I don't care if that's a word! Sylvester Stallone is Frankie Delano and he's out to avenge the death of mob boss Angelo (Anthony Quinn). After protecting his daughter (Madeleine Stowe) for a number of years, he falls in love with her after countless mobsters try to get rid of the family blood. "Avenging Angelo" is pure Oscar and was snubbed by the Academy and the rest of the world. This movie has it all: romanticism, comedy, action, and more genius! It's one of Stallord's best movies!

Review: I first saw this film on a flight. I didnt know what to think at first but I saw it had Sylvester Stallone in there and decided to watch it. I absolutely loved this movie. It definately was the best movie we saw on the plane. It beat the pants off those other lame movies that they played. This movie has action romance and comedy. It is one of the best movies I have seen in a while.

Summary: A very nice surprise
Review: I have enjoyed being surprised by this poorly titled movie. If you want a very nice surprise, then this it. It isn't an action movie it is a romantic comedy and it does a very good job. The writing, camera shots, music all done very well. I am glade I took a chance and bought this movie. This movie once people get past the bad title and the bad outline of the movie they will say wow! I wasn't expecting that! Wow!
