A relatively intelligent vigilante film about the extremely tricky situation, that is: the
clearance of "punks", as they call them in the movie, and how to handle it. The film doesnt produced a clear answer, but proposes numerous methods on the matter. Highlighting, of course, the protagonist's way. Blending the perennial quest for justice, supposed racism and political power in a true and thoughtprovoking manner. Showing concern and arguments from both sides of the spectrum, reflecting the though and Injust reality extraordinarly well.
"Fighting Back" might seem muddled or chaotic but so is the question its tackeling, so any othe result would just not be staying true to the situation. The outcome is, in my opinion, a great all-over-the-place, wild and haphazardus natured crime-action flic with a, perhaps, too ambiguous but truthfull intention. And maybe a little bit clichéd too. But it doesnt matter when the goal is to offer an enjoyable, dramatic action-packed movie experience. With a charismatic yet brutal Tim Skerritt in the lead role.
