The Exterminator

(1980)Directed by James Glickenhaus98 min · RAction, Crime, Drama, Thriller
“In war, you have to kill to stay alive... On the streets of New York, it's often the same.”

A street gang beats his best friend into paralysis, and John Eastland (Robert Ginty), a Vietnam veteran who once owed that man his life, starts hunting the people responsible across New York. Detective James Dalton (Christopher George) is on his trail, and Dr. Megan Stewart (Samantha Eggar) is drawn into the case. James Glickenhaus writes and directs, and the friendship between the two veterans is what Eastland keeps answering to.
