< Walking the Edge
- This film along with Vigilante are two of my favorite 80s grindhouse crime films that both star Robert Forster as well as Joe Spinnell. When her husband and son are executed by drug dealers, a woman Christine Holloway (Nancy Kwan) barely escapes but her psychological trauma forces her to be committed to a mental hospital. It turns out her stay at the hospital wasn't successful because upon her release she plans to find her family's killers and get revenge. During her initial attack on the scumbags who work at an auto garage, an unassuming local cabbie Jason Walk (Robert Forster) thats given her a ride finds himself caught in the middle. Jason then tries to help her out while dealing with his own shady ties to the underworld. The two begin to develop a stormy relationship while they try to evade the killers who are now out looking for both of them. A L.A. set grindhouse gem! --Pete
