Extreme Prejudice

1987 · 105 min

A lean, hard-boiled neo-Western that simmers with macho tension before erupting into a bloody, Peckinpah-style showdown.

Directed by
Walter Hill
Genres
Action, Thriller, Crime
Tagline
An army of forgotten heroes, all officially dead. They live for combat. Now they've met the wrong man.
Overview
Lean, mean Texas Ranger Jack Benteen locks horns with a former friend, Cash Bailey, now a ruthless drug kingpin. Though they're on opposite sides of the law, they share a love interest in the sensual Sarita. When a crew of rogue soldiers descends upon the border town for an off-the-books mission, all roads lead to a bloody, to-the-death showdown, as loyalties shift and the lines between good and evil are blurred.
How it feels
Tense, dark, cynical and melancholic. Brisk and needs your attention.
