Death Wish (1974)

Rating: ★★★

Jun 15, 2008Vigilante Film

The original vigilante film that spawned several sequels. This is crudely aimed at one's red-blooded nature – to get one enraged at the lowlifes that would attack a man's family and then cheer on seeing said lowlifes being blown away

The White Buffalo (1977)

Rating: ★

Mar 10, 2006Cop Pursues Serial Killer
