Vigilante the eponymous track of the eponymous album, for the titular movie. Is a 12 minute salsa ballad that is not only one of my favorite songs of all time but probably one of the most impressive tracks ever written. You’ve got the iconic duo of Willie Colón and Héctor lavoe, Milton Cardona in the choir, Sal cueva on bass, yomo tomo on the cuatro and two minutes of a cracker playing the guitar with more steeze than you could possibly imagine.
And the song is played for 3 seconds right before the climax of the film.
Anyways it still gets three stars because It was amusing and it got really good if you imagine it as a punisher movie.

It's never a good sign when you show a happy family playing in the park with an idyllic score in the first 10 minutes of an 80's exploitation movie.
A Son of Death Wish that inherits the mean streak of Maniac. Some wild stuff but found the pacing a bit off; chases come to abrupt ends and the whole prison sequence goes on a bit long without a real payoff.
But Forester is great and the score rips.
