First Blood (Ted Kotcheff, 1982)
yes, I watched them back to front. At least I had seen this one before. A fairly solid, kinetic thriller which escalates organically, befitting its source material for once. Dennehy is small town USA personified...insular, xenophobic and short sighted. Sadly he picks on the wrong "drifter" whose only crime is that he seems to be "other". Setting a template for decades, this is still an effective piece.
