William Devane, the actor from "Family Plot" (1976), directed by Alfred Hitchcock, "Marathon Man"(1976), directed by John Schlesinger, and Tommy Lee Jones, the actor from "JFK"(1991), directed by Oliver Stone, "The Fugitive"(1993), directed by Andrew Davis, "No Country for Old Men"(2007), directed by Ethan Coen, Joel Coen. What do you want more for a film to be good? A good story signed Paul Schrader and a bunch of other good actors as Linda Haynes, Luke Askew, Cassie Yates, etc. I really would have liked to have in my real life a reliable friend as Johnny Vohden, the character played by Tommy Lee Jones. As I would have liked to have a girlfriend like Linda Forchet, the character played by Linda Haynes. But, real life is a little bit different, you can't find reliable people in it, all betray you sooner or later...

Rolling Thunder is a very high quality grindhouse revenge movie with tight direction, solid writing and first rate acting. Rolling Thunder is also the first in a wave of films to use post Vietnam America as a backdrop, predating First Blood by five years. I really like the film that was made, but if the original writer Paul Shrader had his way he would have taken Rolling Thunder in another direction. Even with Heywood Gould's re writes, Rolling Thunder remains a powerful, raw, brutal film. William Devane really brings it here as Major Charles Rane, a down on his luck Vietnam war vet and POW. He comes home to find his wife is in love with another man and his son dose'nt know him. It gets worst quick when Roscoe(from The Dukes Of Hazard) and his group of thugs murder his wife and son, grind up his hand in the garbage disposal and leave him for dead. Down, but not out Major Rane, now a cripple with a hook hand goes south of the border to Mexico for revenge. Scooping up his war buddy John Vohden(Tommy Lee Jones) they go to a whorehouse in Mexico for all out revenge and slaughter. I do agree with writer Paul Shrader that The Wild Bunch styled everyone dies in a blaze of gunfire ending that he wrote would have been a much more powerful ending to the film. Even so, Rolling Thunder still resonates and is no surprise that it is a cult classic. Great film.

Rolling Thunder isn't better known because it needs to be sought after. It's a very powerful film. One of the best role of Tommy Lee Jones & one of the very best revenge pictures ever conceived.Devane's character is pure testosterone.What it is: A Definite must see for any fan of 70's sinema,"GRINDHOUSE/ /Drive-INN/,road-movies/, Strange 70's dramas/, or any A film for fan of seriously intrepid film making! Or anyone looking for an uncompromising vision in all it's ugly glory, & honest story telling.I'm truly amazed at the cinephiles who love 70's style insane character dramas,revenge,horror,gore,etc."grindhouse-a word thrown around a bit too much of late.) I don't exactly categorize this film as "grindhouse". Though no doubt I'm sure it had it's run. But these films i always imagine to relate more in style to the "southern" drive-Inn style of action pictures.-(Dirty Mary,Crazy Larry, Gaitor Bait & tons more.) This film has little relation to Gaitor Bait, other than violence & bright southern scenery in parts,does have a great: " Dirty Mary, crazy Larry" feel towards the end.Rolling Thunder isn't better known because it needs to be sought after. It's a very powerful film. One of the best role of Tommy Lee Jones & one of the very best revenge pictures ever conceived.Devane's character is pure testosterone.I was around ten when my father 1st showed me the film,& I remember being somewhat confused/uncomfortable as to why the hero was trying to get his "friend" to hurt him. My father then explained: "Devane" has had no real contact, in war people tend to seal up & they become machines or they brake apart. -*(My father fought in the Korean war.I only mention his part because I thinks it's a very brave choice to leave the scene in, where i can see a studio/producer wanting the scene out due to the fact it shows a damaged part of the psyche of our hero/anti-hero-Brando-personified & then mixed up again.*(Elements of "The Wild One" of course are present even if only subconsciously).I feel as if parts of this film, can only be truly understood by those who've seen the true horror of war. These scenes have that very dual nature Very brave & honest characterization scenes.Building like a roller-coaster, the film opens with our hero returning from a war, more scarred than only a veteran could understand. Met with praise for slaughter & mental anguish. The only thing he knows is war. Not love for his wife as she seems to have forgotten any hope. a mere stranger to his son.His eyes are cold, Devane really pulled the darkness from his soul for this role & you will feel it! It's heartbreaking to watch the silent dynamic unfold between a lost little boy & his yearning father whose not even a memory to his son. The boy shyly wants to know his father & The couple decides to divorce, he keeps getting social praise as the things that matter slip away all, but the love for his son. He's then rewarded, as gangster types get involved-not to give too much away, but he ultimately loses his son & his hand & wife in a horrific, scenes that have to be seen.The game is on!Cherry Red Cadillac,Reflective Sun-glasses & the open road, not to mention enough hate inside & artillery to take down the terminator.The soldier takes over & it's a road movie to hell at all costs. With nothing to lose he heads towards Mexico where he mets a beautiful woman who gets involved & it becomes just a man hunting down his own demons, in the flesh & the ones in his soul. Few movies really compare with the dynamic portrayed by the characters, in most revenge movies before & definitely after. (not that they were bad, just they didn't take the time to really suck you in get to know just how dark the character is. But this is where Devane shines. Righting wrongs that can never be healed. just like the scars of war.

Major Charles Rane comes back from the war and is given a number of gifts from his hometown because he is a war hero.Some thugs decide that they want to steal a number of silver dollars from him.In the process they also manage to kill his wife and son and destroy his hand.The Major wants revenge so he enlists the help of his war buddy Johnny to meet the thugs in a final showdown....Even though its part of the narrative and the story, the lack of emotion from Devane and Jones can really drain the viewer at times, and makes the film a little slower than it should be.But it's still one hell of a movie about a man who is able to control his emotive tendencies until we see both of them let rip come the final stand off.Devane has never been better as the Major who left a part of his soul in a POW camp, coming home to find that even though he is a minor celebrity, his home life has been crushed. The film comes into it's own when we arrive in Mexico, and we meet a lot of nasty people, in fact so nasty, the film makes Mexico appear that every male who lives there is a rapist and a crook.It's been compared to Death With, and there are similarities with the revenge theme, but Rane and Kersey are so different, the revenge theme seems to be the only similarities.Rane knows what he is doing, he wants revenge his way, and plans it. Kersey gets lucky and kills random people who look like trouble.Jones is as good as ever, and as I have said, the final showdown is something that Peckinpah would be proud of.A good movie all in all, just very slow at times.
