Billy, el defensor Ratings & Reviews
- Mister Arn18 de mayo de 2025"Billy Jack" explores the stark contrast between the privileged and unprivileged, the violent and nonviolent, and the caring versus uncaring. With elements of Kung Fu Revenge and Western genres, the film employs cultural themes to evoke strong emotions of shock, rage, and anger. While the acting is not good, and the script has imperfections, the film's message hits home in a heavy-handed yet impactful way. The film, shot in New Mexico, has recognizable backdrops and scenery.
- Charles London22 de febrero de 2025Tom Laughlin makes some bold choices in making this film, such as the use of non-actors and opting for improvisation in some scenes. The resulting roughness gives the movie a certain non-Hollywood realness, as though you are simply an observant bystander and witness to systemic prejudice and one man's violent crusade against racial injustice and the rigged system that enables it. It's far more than a "hippie" movie. I was an impressionable teenager when I first saw this film and it left an indelible mark.
