Note : Revenge is a theme that never stops giving, and here's a pretty typical 70s take on both that and the ever-recurring trope of Vietnam vets coming home and just being fucked-up husks, and society not really knowing what to do with them but be awkward. With the Texas/Mexico border setting and the ultraviolent ending, it could take a hard turn into some brown people killing, but it actually mostly avoids that, this isn't a vigilante story, it's a personal revenge rampage by a man who's just got nothing left. It stars a quite good William Devane, with a notable supporting turn by Tommy Lee Jones, as well as Linda Haynes, James Best, Dabney Coleman, and Luke Askew.
Air force major Charles Rane returns to San Antonio after having spent seven years as a POW in Hanoi, mostly being tortured. Along with him is master sergeant and only close friend Johnny Vohden. Despite the town throwing a great homecoming ceremony, presenting him with a red Cadillac and one silver dollar for every day he's been gone, plus a willing and ready blonde, Linda, who Rane shows little interest in, he can't go back to normal, his wife is engaged to a local cop, his son no longer remembers him, and he seems to take all this stoically, continuing a spartan and regimented life living in a spare room. However, one day he comes home to find a group of criminals waiting for him, they want his silver dollars, and when they start trying torture him to give them up, Rane flashes back to his torture in Hanoi and goes mostly catatonic. They end up mangling his hand in a garbage disposal, and when his wife and son come home, they're taken hostage and eventuallly killed, while Rane survives a gunshot wound. Recovering in the hospital, sans one hand, he's visited by Vohden and Linda. Vohden doesn't have anything to do, and reveals he's signed up for another ten year contract with the military. Rane withholds the identities of the attackers from the police, including his dead wife's fiancé, and starts plotting his revenge, sharpening his hook prosthetic and sawing off a shotgun, then starts tracking them down. However, his budding relationship with Linda complicates things, and in the end, he'll need more help from his only friend to murder enough people to satisfy his lust for revenge.
This is a quite nice 4k remaster, clean and fairly sharp, with restrained grain, but it's a bit dark and with somewhat crushed blacks. The dual mono track sounds good, and the commentary tracks are fine.
