Matt Brunson Film Frenzy This reasonably riveting thriller probably could only have been made in the 1970s -- after all, it’s hard to imagine any other decade harboring a film whose three main characters are tagged in the ads as The Psycho Cop, The Mad Bomber, and The Rapist.

Audience Member you'll get a bang out of this B sci-fi pic Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member An early 70's thriller that has a fascinating premise. The filmmakers approach with the antagonist is compelling and there are a few moments that work quite well. Still, it's a low-budget thriller with some painful bits and atrocious dialogue. It's good and bad at the same time. Gotta love the cheesy 70's music during the 'prostitute as bait' scene. It's also particularly fascinating seeing the rudimentary police work involving "modern" technology like computers and face matching. Nowadays it all seems so dated but at the time it must have been high-tech. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Litterbugs, rude drivers, and those who show a lack of common courtesy take heed as Chuck Connnors plays a heartbroken father striking back at society by leaving homemade bombs around LA after his daughter dies of a heroin overdose. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Man spirals downward after the overdose of his daughter, setting off bombs in an attempt to get back at society. Connors offers valuable lessons on littering and common courtesy but the show largely focuses on intense cop Vince Edwards, who is granted considerable latitude with respect to police procedure. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member watching this film late last night was a lot of fun I miss staying up late and watching movies till dawn. anyway Chuck Connors of The Rifleman who takes revenge for his daughter's drug overdose so what does he do? he gets some dynamite and blows up the school where she went and the mental hospital where she worked. The ending which I will not spoil was unexpected, Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Litterbugs, rude drivers, and those who show a lack of common courtesy take heed as Chuck Connnors plays a heartbroken father striking back at society by leaving homemade bombs around LA after his daughter dies of a heroin overdose.
