After seeing the horrors of war close-up, all Jack (Aaron Gaffey) wants to do is live a peaceful life in the desert hanging out with his Native American friend Mo (Devin Barry) drinking beer and doing yoga. His dreams of an uncomplicated life are shattered when a chance meeting with a young mother (Amber Benson) leads Jack down a path of bloody revenge. Writer /director Ward Roberts must have spent a lot of time watching grind house movies as a kid, because he perfectly captures the essence of the exploitation genre, combining gut wrenching violence with many mighty belly laughs. The story is twisted, to be sure, and it’s tempting to hit the stop button once the crazed bar owner/drug dealer Buzz (Jeremiah Birkett) starts spinning out of control. But if you make it though the disgusting scene with Buzz in the sheriff’s car, you’ll make it through the entire film, and have a hell of a ride along the way.
