I do. It’s so so. Devane doesn’t come off as an action actor.

Reminds me of that town in the Southern US.
Veterans came home from fighting and were astonished and disillusioned by the indifference and racism shown them and the blatant corruption in the local government. Ended up fighting a battle( s) there over it.

Correct.

And I don’t think racism was a factor, just government corruption including at the ballot box.

Great movie.... Then I did the Rolling Thunder Protest Ride to DC for 26 of the 32 years it ran.
