Well, This review of the 1983 movie is from the perspective of a guy who watched it in 2020 ...
So, just to make some things clear, this movie which is based on a novel with same name was intended for the audience at the time when the movie was originally released;
So yes, I found this movie little more like a good pass time, but hey no disrespect for the people who grew up watching it & felt it close to cult classic;
It's just that I can't relate to it, but yes it's a good movie with good message that says violence isn't a solution to our problems
