In the frozen, washed-out flatlands of some desolate part of the Eastern U.S. strewn with factories and dive bars, a violent war rages between young mercenary drug-lords and bumbling Hicksville cops. With the help of a few unreliable informants recruited directly from the seedy underbelly of said rural environs, the law steps in to eradicate the scourge of dope...and maybe have a bit of fun along the way.
This cash-strapped but ambitious little regional film, unreleased or barely shown at regional drive-ins, made a not-so-impressive debut on home video in the 80s(with deliciously sleazy box art). It's pretty much the slop-job of never-made-a-movie-before messiness one might expect, but entertains despite itself and offers up a few surprisingly violent moments. Much like the equally obscure film "ANOTHER SON OF SAM", this seems to have been made mainly because someone involved with the production had a friend with a helicopter.
4/10
