A former wrestler moves back to his hometown, and gets into a conflict with local gangsters. He runs for sheriff and is elected. He tries to clean up the place.
This film is not bad as a depiction of a certain type of personality. However, everything in it is exaggerated and caricatural, and the result is certainly amusing, to a certain extent. In an exchange between the protagonist and his black friend, the latter says that the secret to success is organized group action; we don't see anything of that sort in the movie, though. If we did, it would be a leftwing movie, instead of a rightwing one praising individualism. It is a very well directed film.
Rating: 50
