7/10
First the Indians, then the Davidians, then the Arabs and now US!

Can anyone watch "The Trial of Billy Jack" and not relate it to TSA, Gitmo, Abu Grade? Yes, much of the acting is flat and amateurish. However, given our present sorry state, can't we give points to this movie for its prophetic warnings? Hate "The Trial of Billy Jsck" if you must, but don't ignore its powerful message. Ignore or disparage "The Trial of Billy Jack at your own peril, as "Freedom School, 1975" is "Anytown, 2010". The National Guard who put down their arms remind me of the Oathkeepers.

Let's not discount the fine photography, action and frequently moving scenes. Tom Laughlin also gives another fun performance. I give "The Trial of Billy Jsck" a "7".
