A story about veterans, a ruthless drug lord, a girl in trouble, and kicking ass the American way.

Listen in as me and returning guest Dan put on some ponchos and wade through this splatterfest of violence.

Directed by Joe Begos (Almost Human, The Mind's Eye, Bliss) and written by first-time screenwriters Max Brallier and Matthew McArdle, the A.V. Club called the film "a visceral throwback to the gritty action fare that lined video store shelves in the early ’80s," and Slashfilm said "it's vile, slick with repugnance, and appropriately inhumane." This film is FUCKING AWESOME.

It tells the story of VFW bartender Fred, played by Stephen Lang (Don't Breathe, Avatar), and his fellow veteran friends played by William Sadler (The Shawshank Redemption, The Mist), Fred Williamson (MASH, From Duck Till Dawn), Martin Kove (Karate Kid), and David Patrick Kelly (The Warriors, The Crow), as they fight to protect Lizard, a young woman on the run from a ruthless drug lord and his army of mindless tweakers. It's simple, violent, and absolutely fun. Just watch it!

The film is currently available on Prime Video, AMC+, Blu-ray and DVD.
