It's 1973 San Antonio, Texas. Major Charles Rane (William Devane) returns home after seven years in the Hanoi Hilton. He receives a hero's welcome with Master sergeant Johnny Vohden (Tommy Lee Jones) and others. He is still haunted by his captivity. His wife is engaged to another man. His young son doesn't remember him. Linda Forchet (Linda Haynes) has been pining for him. Four outlaws break into his home. Despite being tortured, he refuses to give up the goods. He's had worst. The criminals murder his family. He barely survives and seeks revenge with an unsuspecting Linda's help.
I expected Tommy Lee Jones to have a bigger role in this movie. The hook is fun but I question if he could use a shotgun effectively. William Devane isn't acting with much energy in this. That's part of the reason why Tommy Lee Jones need to get in on this a lot sooner. Linda is pretty good and I really like her fatalism. As a Death Wish copy, this is fine.
