Angels of Evil Blu-ray Review



Michele Placido's Vallanzasca - Gli Angeli Del Male a.k.a Angels of Evil (2010) has received a preliminary release date: October 3. Starring Kim Rossi Stuart, Moritz Bleibtreu, Paz Vega, Filippo Timi. Screened at the Venice Film Festival last year. Courtesy of 20 Century Fox-Italia.

Variety:

Italo criminal Renato Vallanzasca is described as having "more balls than brains" in Michele Placido's biopic, "Vallanzasca -- Angels of Evil," but the pic itself is ironically deficient in both directorial daring and insight. A steely, tightly wound Kim Rossi Stuart is largely wasted in the title role, as his character is stuck in a screenplay of the and-then-this-happened variety, credited to a staggering eight collaborators (and based on two tomes co-written by Vallanzasca himself). Though pic has presold to several Euro territories, B.O. won't be heavenly beyond home turf, where it goes out Dec. 17.
