Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Scott LeBrun If you can't get enough of revenge sagas, this low low budget effort from the 1970s might suffice. The story is trite, but the movie has enough female skin and violence, and solid pacing, to help make up for any flaws. A quartet of degenerates are on a crime spree that includes the rape & murder of two young women. One of the victims was the younger sister of law student Cullen Garrett (Chris Mulkey), who's pretty damn angry as you can imagine. The men soon get picked up, but poor timing of the reading of the Miranda rights leads to them getting let go. Naturally Cullen is going to do something about this travesty of justice, his career be damned. He's not exactly the slickest or most well prepared of vigilantes, but he's got the tenacity required. Handsome character actor Mulkey, whom you may recognize from such movies as "First Blood" and "Ghost in the Machine" and the TV series 'Twin Peaks', does good enough in this early starring role. Polly King is appealing as his girlfriend Tracy, who's dismayed by the change in her usually low key guy. The four creeps are played reasonably well, with Wayne Crawford (who co-wrote and co-produced this with Andrew Lane) as the ringleader among them. (Crawford and Lane went on to be the producers of the cult classic "Night of the Comet".) In a supporting role you'll see William Kerwin, star of the Herschell Gordon Lewis splatter favourites "Blood Feast" and "Two Thousand Maniacs!", as Mulkey's lawman uncle, and his authoritative presence as an exploitation veteran really helps. (Crawford and Kerwin both act under pseudonyms.) There's enough bare female skin (King is nicely endowed) to keep exploitation fans content, and as always in this genre it's satisfying to see repellent characters ultimately get their just desserts. Daniel Schweitzer's Johnny gets particularly rough treatment. In the end, this isn't anything especially noteworthy or memorable, but it's adequate entertainment while it lasts. At least it doesn't go on too long. Seven out of 10.

HumanoidOfFlesh Eighteen year old sister of Chris Mulkey is gang-raped and murdered by four drunken degenerates.Her brother takes a gun and kills them one by one in "Death Wish" fashion."Deadbeat" was released to theaters as "Tomcats" in 1977 and on video in the United States as "Avenged".In UK it was released on video under the title "Getting Even".There are two pretty nasty gang-rape scenes in "Deadbeat" as well as plenty of nudity and some misogynistic violence.The film looks cheap,but the plot is fast paced and interesting.Of course "Getting Even" plays like a low-key version of "Death Wish",so you know what to expect.I did like it.8 out of 10.

drzaius-2 This movie, like many low budget movies I've seen from the seventies, revolves around rape. Rape, rape, rape. I don't see how they find time to pack more rape in there, what with all the raping going on, but that Kerwin fellow manages to find room. I don't know about you, gentle reader, but personally I don't find movies drenched in rape to be my cup of tea (Rape Squad excluded of course). If you can look past the giant heaps of rape going on in this movie, you may find a couple funny, if not intentional, lines. At one point the cops are questioning some drunkard that they have picked up that claims to have witnessed one of the thirty-six HUNDRED rapes that goes on, but he won't talk until they give him booze. So finally the main cop gives him a drink, which the witness happily guzzles down. This makes one of the cops wonder out loud, "how can he drink that stuff?!" to which the main cop replies, "If you grow up eating shit, you think it's ice cream." I don't know about you, but I can tell when I hear good dialogue, and that was some GOOD DIALOGUE. There's also a funny part where Chris Mulkey, our "hero" of the movie, gets assaulted by the Rape Gang with an ice cream cone to the face! How savage! RAPE! It just occurred to me that there is some sort of ice cream theme running through this movie, but I refuse to even spend another second thinking about it.

William Chris Mulkey plays a law student whose sister was brutally raped and murdered by a group of drunks (led by Wayne Crawford, billed as another name). Mulkey quit school and kills them one by one DEATH WISH style. The film has some real brutal moments, and had to be cut to get a "R" rating. Mulkey wons some critical praises on the film LOOSE ENDS the same year, could've been a action star if this film was released wide. Dimention Pictures gave a platform release, making this a forgotten film.
