I had no expectations for this movie. From the title I guessed it was a B-grade slasher flick of some kind.
What I got was something completely different.
The Butcher is a dark and gritty story about a man with nothing to lose, made in the style of the classic movies of the same kind in 70's.
Eric Roberts is good in the title role and most of the actors do their job quite well.
The action is raw and naked without being over the top and the overall feel and atmosphere is gritty and dirty.
I recommend this film for people who like gangster and action movies from the 70's.
7/10
