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

Top CriticYou feel guilty liking this manipulative pulp, but it somehow grabs and holds onto you.

Lame, self indulgent when released in 1971, but even more so now.

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