Becker exploits and exaggerates conservativist fears through this c-grade Vietnam-Vet-Action-Horror. Stryker and military buddies apply the lessons of surprise violence when returning to a hometown filled with vagrant and counter-culture villains. Becker enjoys executing violence, which appropriately evokes the adrenaline-induced violence of military men, but is excessively joyous to the point of real terror.
