A film so fascinatingly liberal it almost seems to exist in a different universe.

A little heavy-handed with the message, this film still holds onto the brutality of the revenge style established in Born Losers.

... when peaceful protest is met with guns and brutality, Billy kicks ass as a one-man-army of poetic justice.
