I first learned about this movie through its trailer on another VHS where its known as Back For Revenge which in my eyes is a better name for this movie. I really enjoyed this film and it made me a fan of C Thomas Howell. It was also interesting to see a young Brian Austin Green in a supporting role. If this movie was set in the wild west it still would be an awesome movie.I'll definitely recommend this film for anyone who enjoys revenge movies or C Thomas Howell.Not only did this film have great action it also had great drama added to the mix is an excellent cast with a terrific script and awesome directing.They don't make them like this anymore and probably never will.So watch this movie whenever you can.Thanks for reading this review.

Perhaps a bit cheesy at times, but I do believe it's the best revenge movie I've seen. I've only had the chance to see it once and would like to see it again, to possibly reaffirm my high opinion of the flick, but it's a hard one to come by.

C.Thomas Howell stars as a nameless man who returns to the small town where his hippie parents were killed ten years later, however this time he's armed and he's out for revenge in this solid low budget actioner which casts Howell in a good role as the vigilante kid. Some excellent editing and some entertaining fightscenes highlight the movie.

A neo-Western with the charismatic C. Thomas Howell surpassing his other notable performances as Ponyboy in The Outsiders and the lawyer/volleyball stud in Side Out. Kid will always have a spot on my video shelf as I caught it back in the day while I was still in the early years of High School and I loved it then and love it now. It even has David Silver as an outdated Metalhead who speaks in 80s cliches, and the gorgeous older sister who makes washing a horse look like the most appetizing chore this side of the Mississippi. Topping off the cast is the drill Sergeant from Full Metal Jacket and Dale Dye, both adding credibility to what could have been an otherwise cheap Cinemax snooze-fest. A lean, well-paced and sometimes laughable "flick" that could have benefited from a more intense climax, but works very well within its own means.
