🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a potent parable about power corrupting even the noblest causes, relying on the gritty disillusionment of post-Vietnam America. It explores the blurred line between vigilante justice and the lawlessness it aims to suppress, with tension simmering beneath the action.

What lingers after the final showdown is a cynical, sobering question about the price of order. The heroes' second battle is far more morally complex than their first. — MovieFinder Editorial
