Decorated Vietnam hero Frank Vega returns home only to get shunned by society leaving him without a job or his high school sweetheart.
It's not until forty years later when an incident on a commuter bus (where he protects an elderly black man from a pair of skin heads) makes him a local hero where he's suddenly celebrated once again.
But his good fortune suddenly turns for the worse when his best friend Klondike is murdered and the police aren't doing anything about it....
Take and epic you tube video filmed by people who were against the man in question, and add a little plot,and a bit of Red Heat and you have this.
It's a B-movie of the highest order, something that Charles Bronson would have made in the late eighties, so it needs to be seen with a large pinch of salt.
It's fun though while it lasts, the one liners come thick and fast, and Trejo as you would expect is very good in the title role and gives a great performance.
The rest of the cast are just pure filler and people like Perlman, and Dutton, didn't really have to be in this movie, as they don't really add anything to the proceedings.
If you like late eighties action movies, then this is for you...
