Prime Target (1991)
1/10
This is what America is not about

Prime Target is all some people would like to believe America is about : sun blasted deserts, ugly remote villages, bland-looking people and redneck western-descent heroes.

David Heavener's vision of heroism is even worse. In his self-made justice world, a Cop Hero :

1. Wields a flamethrower, burns criminals alive, and... gets "suspended" as a result.

2. Takes 25,000$ from the FBI just to drive some criminal around, and plagiarize The Gauntlet and Clint Eastwood in doing so.

3. Wears a awfully-looking hat just to reinforce that dumb country attitude.

4. Hates talking, hates culture, and hates eating everything else besides a hamburger.

5. Uses a 60 centimetre (illegal?) six-shots handgun making big holes in human bodies.

6. Listens to moronic country music.

7. Drives around with a "don't talk to me, I live on an empty island" attitude.

"Prime Target" looks just like libertarian propaganda :

Every official is corrupted? The "man" has to take justice into his own hands. Bankers ask for their 25,000$ mortgage in ten days? No problem, the "man" will find the money. His wife wants to throw him away because he never shows up at suppers? No problem, the "man" just has to push around, and he's screwing his wife again... the same boring dumb blonde girl showing up in all these movies.

Damn, at least the 70s movies were entertaining.

This is crappy "Free America lives by the gun and dies by the gun" propaganda.
