Death Squad

About This Movie

Death Squad is a gritty action flick wrapped in a crime drama, and it really captures that raw mid-'80s vibe. The pacing is relentless, and even though the director remains a mystery, you can feel the energy on screen. Mario Balbuena plays this honest cop who gets ambushed, and it's like you can almost sense his rage building throughout. The idea of recruiting a ragtag team of criminals to get back at the corrupt cops and drug dealers adds a layer of dark humor. The practical effects are decent for the time, and you can see the effort put into the fight scenes. It’s not polished, but maybe that’s what gives it character.

Features practical effects typical of the era.Strong themes of revenge and moral ambiguity.Captures the essence of 1980s action cinema.
