“I guess by now you could call this movie a u0026quot;classic.u0026quot; It would meet most definitions. It was so popular that it spawned a number of sequels, but they just got dumb and dumber. This is one of the most famous u0026quot;revengeu0026quot; movies ever made and still stands up today.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis was a very, very simple story and it panders to our base instincts which is probably why it was so successful. Most people want justice, and they want it now….which is what this movie preaches. At the time, the movie was shocking. If it came out today, it wouldnu0026#39;t have nearly the impact. However, the early scene of the mother and daughter raped and killed is still horrifying. That will never change.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story then slows down as we see the transformation of the husband, from conscientious objector to vigilante. When Charles Bronson hits the streets, the film picks up big-time. The movie also ends on a very satisfying note.”
