	Author	Review
United States	Richard F. Shepard The New York Times	"[The actors] seem a reasonably competent crew, although in this raunchy, bloodstained, moralizing account there is not much opportunity to demonstrate."	NEU
United States	Variety	"William Roberts’ screenplay, while it sags in the middle, is damnably clever at dropping in its vicious vigilante theme without being didactic"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"It's nothing more than a brutal reiteration of the most basic macho values, and one that leaves a nasty aftertaste."	NEG
Canada	Michele "Izzy" Galgana Screen Anarchy	"Great directing from Thompson, great casting, and a good cinematographer (...) make this urban exploitation fable far more and entertaining than the usual weird movie."	POS
