回复 :在美国暴力犯罪情况日益严重的七十年代初期，本片石破天惊地公然提出“以暴易暴"的主张，让受害者自力救济对罪犯展开暴力反击，在首映当年曾引起相当热烈的讨论。动作巨星查尔斯．布朗森饰演的一名温文商人，当他的太太和女儿被暴徒强奸，而爱妻更因而致死时，他的整个人生态度改变了。他开始主动出击，在暗夜的纽约街头找寻那些可能的暴力犯加以制裁，警方对这名神秘的城市英雄感到困惑：难道打击犯罪真的要这样子才有效吗？导演迈克尔．温纳成功地塑造了一个以暴易暴的英雄，他们忍无可忍之后的出手普遍赢得观众的认同，老查的演出也相当精彩。杰夫．戈德布拉姆初登银幕，饰演其中一名暴徒。影片对暴力采取极端写实的手法，远离暴力的娱乐化倾向。该片在1982、1985、1987、1994年分别推出四部续集，但毫无新意，均遭恶评。

回复 :Adult brothers Mark and Colin Pollock still live with their parents Frank and Mavis Pollock in a small apartment in the projects of London's east end in what is a collective depressed and unhappy existence. The three men of the household are all on the dole, each doing little to find gainful employment. Between the brothers, Mark is the smart aleck, who calls his parents by their given names to irk them, and who hangs out with a bunch of hooligans as he refers to himself and his friends, such as a skinhead named Coxy. Although never medically diagnosed as such, Colin is seemingly emotionally slow. Colin likes to hang out with Mark and his friends in his want to be accepted, especially as Mark tells him that a neighborhood girl named Hayley is interested him. The family rarely socializes with Mavis' sister and brother-in-law, Barbara and John, who live a middle to upper middle class and seemingly perfect existence in the suburbs of Chigwell. Although not telling them to their face, John dislikes his relations by marriage, believing especially Mark to be brash and trashy. A unilateral act by Barbara leads to many issues within the extended family coming to the surface, most specifically the true happiness of the marriage between Barbara and John, and what Colin is truly looking for to be happy in life.
