iT'S ABOUT FIGHTING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT gOOD OLE BOYS. pLUS PEOPLE WAKING UP FROM A DEGENERATE LIFESTYLE AND TRYING TO START NEW. Sorry for yelling caps off.
It's a complicated movie. A lot of sub-plots going on, and "heroes" who are deeply flawed. But in the end, they make a stand against the truly evil amongst them, and win back some of their integrity and humanity.
At its core,its about the redemption of people who've taken some really wrong turns in life.
Kinda like Saul of Tarsus, who became Paul after a little incident on the road one day......
Who woke up from a degenerate lifetyle? Kim Bassinger's character seemed more worn out from it, rather than awakened.
