A rather generic revenge flick, doused in a strong gritty 70s vibe. No doubt that's what attracts people to this film, but as someone who is very much appalled by this style, this did very little for me. The setup of the film is extremely slow, the performances are doubty and while the ending ramps things up a bit, it's not enough to save this film. Paul Schrader wrote the screenplay, but it's nothing to boast about. The drama is quite slow and the first half of the film is a bit of a drag. The revenge scenes are more animated, but the film had already lost me by then. At least it's quite short, similar classics often crossed the 120-minute mark. Read all
