Viewing Notes
This movie gets right down to it, no screwing around with filler! It’s all villainous nastiness followed by cold-hearted revenge. The action is pretty good with some absolutely great and bloody death scenes.
On the downside this Image disc was older and I had to blow up the picture to fit my screen. It’s also shot mostly with a single camera and feels a bit rough because of that. The night scenes are so dark it’s often difficult to make anything out due to lack of lighting.
Still, overall, worth a watch.
