Last Exit to Brooklyn (1989)

Red White & Blue – review

This low-budget American film by a British independent director stars the Australian actor Noah Taylor as a Us veteran, unhinged by his experiences as an interrogator in Iraq. He tentatively holds out a hand of friendship to another loner, an abused girl in blue-collar Texas whose reckless promiscuity has made her HIV positive. Then when she becomes the victim of men whom she may have infected with Aids, he wreaks a terrible revenge on them. It is a tragic story of some power with echoes of Hubert Selby Jr's novel Last Exit to Brooklyn .
