This Vietnam Vet Won't Let You Off The Hook - Rolling Thunder review by Spoons
Rolling Thunder is a typical "vet returns from Vietnam a hero only for his family to be murdered so he takes revenge" movie. The film starts off brutal but becomes plodding as it builds to it's violent climax. The picture is written by Paul Schrader who was also responsible for the brilliant Taxi Driver and the end scene of Rolling Thunder is very reminicent of the Martin Scorsese movie. However this is certainly not in the same league as that masterpiece. Still enjoyed it and it had enough to keep me entertained for 90 minutes.
