Comments

One of many American films on the insufficiency of justice and the recourse to violence to stop violence. This film caused the polemic because of the behaviors which it puts forward; its business success, as well as the world resonance of the continuations testify to a persistent concern of the Urban violence in the great agglomerations since the Années 1970.
