Even though Bethie is able to identify the attackers, the defense hires a local hot-shot defense attorney who manipulates the law to their advantage. When the criminals are set free, Gulf War veteran and detective John Dromoor is dismayed by the lack of justice and plots revenge against the men on Teena's behalf.

Trivia
In one of the bar scenes, an extra is sitting in a booth on the other side of John (Nicolas Cage). This extra has a portrait tattoo of Cage that was autographed by Cage at that same bar when they happened to meet a few months before.

Goofs
A defense lawyer would not be allowed to stand behind, and walk around a member - a juvenile, nonetheless - of the prosecuting team, which would be considered intimidation.

Quotes
John: Put your hand on the gun.

Far better than DEATH WISH remake.

I enjoyed his, I love a good revenge film. Some great performances from the cast and Nic actually held back a lot and have a reserved performance. He's straight to the point no messing about BANG! Sorted. Liked that approach.

The victim is also gorgeous. The rape scene could have been a bit more visual to really make you hate the rapists more. .......but thankfully was brief and was still more than enough to anger and disgust the viewer......ready for the revenge. Course scenes are a bit far fetched but sadly this crap happens. I'd have liked to have seen the lawyer get his cumuppence also. Better than usual revenge, vigilant cop film. No the most original but a great pay off. Worth a watch......forget the haters. Worth it just to witness yet another o Nic Cages hair do(n'ts)
