About

If you enjoy grimy, intense ’80s revenge thrillers with escalating schoolyard terror and a shock-value edge, this may hit the spot; Not for you if you avoid disturbing content, cruelty, or mean-spirited brutality like in Rolling Thunder.

Pros: tense, gritty revenge thriller; memorable punk-gang menace; strong cult-era energy | Cons: over-the-top violence; uneven dialogue stretches; implausible authority inaction
