Vengeance Is Mine (1983)

Great violent cult classic. Mr. Borgnine is excellent as usual and Pollard is crazy good as expected. Also has minor cult heroine Hollis McLaren in her first role.

AKA - Sunday in the Country

Blood Feud (1983) TV Movie

Life and times of the notoriously popular union boss, James (Jimmy) Hoffa Sr. Excellently done, long form (4 hours) TV movie. IMO, Blake is miscast. He doesn't look, act or sound like the real thing, but it's testament to his underrated acting abilities. You're pulled in from the opening act and you'll probably watch it straight through. Casting is outstanding, lots of notables including the great Oscar winner Ernest Borgnine as J. Edgar Hoover.
