i guess by now you could call this movie a classic . it would meet most definition . it be so popular that it spawn a number of sequel and but they just get dumb and dumber . this be one of the most famous revenge movie ever make and still stand up today . this be a very and very simple story and it pander to our base instinct which be probably why it be so successful . most people want justice and and they want it now . which be what this movie preach . at the time and the movie be shock . if it come out today and it wouldn not have nearly the impact . however and the early scene of the mother and daughter rap and kill be still horrify . that will never change . the story then slow down a we see the transformation of the husband and from conscientious objector to vigilante . when charles bronson hit the street and the film pick up big time . the movie also end on a very satisfying note .
