Featured review
This does not seem like a movie. It is more like a TV series pilot which tries to hit every type of crime story in one TV movie. The pace is hard to follow. There is a sleazxy methadone dealing family of weird perverts. They have their own crime spree that covers almost every crime. Then there is a serial killer who hunts men at the truck stops to have sex with them and then kill them. Hunter actually saves his life at one point, while killing a different killer. Then there is one local townie who is a relapsed meth-head who has a deadly secret. Nobody suspects him. So there are three sets of criminals who cross paths at various points, and Hunter is trying to tie the loose ends by killing them all.
Fred Dryer plays the son of the local sheriff, and he tries to be his Hunter character with some Rambo mixed in. Every interaction that he has with a suspect ends in the death of the suspect, and yet there is never any follow-up, crime scene investigation, etc. Hunter just shoots people dead, and then walks away to get coffee at the local diner.
At one point a main character is getting beaten up by one of the methadone drug dealers, and Dryer/Hunter just kicks the door in and shoots the drug dealer. Then he makes a couple of funny remarks and leaves. The dead drug dealer, the drug money, the guns, are all just left behind. Nobody shows up to take any evidence into custody at any time. No ambulances, no coroners, not even a guy with a shovel to bury the dead.
Towards the end of the movie, it is hard to figure out who is killing who, and which ones are the meth drug dealers, who is the serial killer, and who are the victims. This is a movie that you should just enjoy watching Fred Dryer/ Hunter killing almost everyone in the town, and let the "crime scene investigators" figure it out later, if they ever show up!
