Triple Feature
Vigilante
Eddie Marino (Robert Forster) is a stand-up blue-collar factory worker who doesn’t agree with his neighbors’ decision to start a citizen’s watchdog group (led by an incendiary Fred Williamson) to delivery their own brand of justice on the crime-ridden streets of their corrupt corner of the city – that all changes when a vicious local gang leader kills Eddie’s son and disfigures his wife. He finally takes off the gloves, picks up a bat, and muscles sweet vengeance. This powerful, tough-as-nails thriller about the limits of the law is expertly directed by cult fave Bill Lustig and features western icon Woody Strode as a convict looking out for Eddie as well as Joe Spinell as one of the sleaziest defense lawyers in film history. The only thing more pitiless than Vigilante itself is the brutal punishment Eddie and crew enact on the worst scum out there.

The Delta Force
Based on a true story, Menahem Golan’s jingoistic Cannon Films thrill-ride sends Chuck Norris, Lee Marvin and their elite team of high-powered soldiers in to rescue an all-star plane full of Americans (Martin Balsam, George Kennedy, Shelley Winters and other recognizable faces) held hostage by Lebanese terrorists led by a mustachioed Robert (Jackie Brown) Forster. But The Delta Force doesn’t negotiage with terrorists… they blow them away!
“Robert Forster gives a frighteningly good performance, intense and uncompromising. He makes the threat real and keeps The Delta Force from becoming just an action comic book.” – Roger Ebert
