Lone Wolf McQuade (1983)

Synopsis: A Texas Ranger investigates the theft of arms from an Army convoy and finds that a powerful drug dealer is behind it.
Appraisal: This is a professionally made, conventional low-brow action film, but the pace is a little too slow for it to be called a thriller. The deification of the cop in the person of the title character -- most evident in the shot that shows him against the sunlight from below -- is emblematic of the reactionary wind that swept America -- and the world -- in the 80's.
Rating: 31
