An action film with almost no action. Scenes with long set ups and very quick "action." You find yourself fast forwarding a lot.
Pretty badly made on almost every level, poor acting, writing, directing, even lighting and score. Mostly historical interest only, for being the first of a very tedious predictable kind of film.
If you want a good revenge film, see Ms. 45.
What made this film appealing for some was the same kind of impulse that got Nixon elected, "law and order." Crime actually was declining at the time. But because of television reporting it more, some people believed it to be going up.
