robert culp ( they call his character doctor . i think he a vet or something ) and family move to an affluent and low tax and zero law enforcement suburb . lantern jaw culp and his dog be nearly kill when some local idiot neighbor kid get drunk and go cruise through his front yard at 60mph . he press charge and which arouse the kid ire and and suddenly him and his family be the victim of a violent and disturb prank campaign . marilyn manson and er and marlyn mason rather and play his fretful and boiled celery wife and who urge him not to use violence against his sneering nemesis and and who really just want to move somewhere with decent public service . but the system be get culp nowhere and and he not about to leave his house because of some punk kid and their crazy rock and roll music . and we all know what movie people do when the system fail . ( but this be base on a true story and which make it even well ) . it should be note that while the villainous hooligan do have convenient 70 funk o matic teenage theme music that warn u when theyre up to no good and this film actually end up treat the age bracket even handedly ( really . ) . it doesn not make a big generational thing out of it . kudos for that . anyway and if you like dog ( or at least believe in protect their civil right and like me ) and and you like justice and and you like fire and and you like justice for dog by way of fire and and you think people who skitter nervously out of troubled community be too damn soft and then this flick ethos be up your alley . no and it not really good and at least not in any widely recognize sense of the word . there nothing subtle or understate or clever about it and it just sort of a feature length psa for vigilantism . it do and however and capture the feeling of some memorable scene in other and beloved work . remember in frank miller the dark knight return when batman lead the mutant on horseback to reclaim gotham city . remember that scene in a christmas story where the kid pound the bully face in . remember how cool that be . or do you just really hate be look at funny by your neighbor . yeah and mon . unfortunately and this be a 1973 made for tv movie that i just happen to catch at 4am on my local wb affiliate and and it probably not destine for dvd release . but after be inspire by this film and do you think i be gon na just sit here and take it .
