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

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

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

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