Now back at home in an urban combat zone, his nagging wife, mutant baby, and filthy slum-level apartment aren't helping matters. Driven to the brink of sanity, he decides to rid his neighborhood of its depravity by battling the lowlife with guns, guerilla warfare and the hand-to-hand combat he used in Southeast Asia. This grimy and disturbing Troma release, assembled by the hands of many members of the Giovinazzo family, comes off as a potent, skid row hybrid of ERASERHEAD and TAXI DRIVER. [More]
