Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except
Jack Stryker took two bullets in the leg in Vietnam and was carried back by one of his men. When he returns, he tries to live a quiet life in his cabin and go back out with his girlfriend, Sally.
Why it matters
A gritty, grindhouse-tinged revenge thriller that channels '80s action-horror with a raw, no-frills edge.
- Practical effects and gritty Vietnam flashbacks ground the violence in sweaty realism.
- Jack Stryker’s wounded veteran arc taps into Cold War-era anxieties about trauma and masculinity.
- For fans of exploitation flicks where body horror and shootouts collide without polish or pretense.
- Rough around the edges but delivers a visceral, unvarnished snapshot of ’80s genre mashup energy.
