Is that only a backfire, or is someone firing back? Written by Echo Bridge Home Entertainment
A shell shocked Vietnam Vet (played by Jeff Fahey) is driven over the brink by his greedy wife (Karen Allen) and her boyfriend.
Although the idea of this film is pretty interesting, and the cast is pretty good, unfortunately the script is not good enough to really make the story work. This makes the movie kind of predictable. Karen Allen chews up the scenery, and steams up the screen in a few nude scenes, as the greedy young wife born on the wrong side of the tracks in a small town.
Overall this movie is worth a watch, especially if you are a Karen Allen fan, but not nearly as great as it could be.
