Skips over portions of the story that really should have been fleshed out a bit, but the parts that are here are a pretty good revenge film with a bit more character than most.

Not my favorite vigilante movie, not my favorite sleazy New York movie, but probably my favorite performance from Fred Williamson. He's perfect in this flick. He made me want to buy a gun and join a neighborhood watch. This film is a snapshot of the era it was made. Nihilistic punks, inner city violence. Great funky soundtrack too.
