A quartet of degenerate scumbags embark on a rape and murder spree. The slimebuckets are arrested by the cops, but manage to walk away free after they get off on a technicality. The law student brother (a fine early lead performance Chris Mulkey) of one of their victims decides to take the law into his own hands so he can exact a savage revenge on the dirtballs.
Director Harry Kerwin relates the engrossingly sordid story at a steady pace, maintains a harsh gritty tone throughout, doesn't pull any punches with two nasty rape scenes, delivers a satisfying serving of tasty bare female flesh and bloody violence, and stages an exciting climatic foot chase and shoot out with some skill and flair. Moreover, the four punks are a truly skeevy and despicable bunch, with Wayne Crawford a particular stand-out as mean ringleader M.J. Polly King makes a favorable impression as sweet and fetching blonde Tracy while Florida exploitation stalwart William Kerwin lends sturdy support as the hard-nosed Detective Tom Garrett. The production values are on the rough side, but that only adds to the movie's considerable scroungy charm. Worthwhile viewing for 70's grindhouse cinema fans.
