I love 70's cult cinema, and this is the best that there is. It's a good underground film that has its own audience. Very well acting, and highly entertaining. This is a film that influenced Quentin Tarantino.... Full review

Going into ROLLING THUNDER, I think I was expecting something with a little more of an exploitation-vibe to it. In actuality, this film is quite a bit deeper than your average sleazy revenge tale.Major Charles Rane comes home from Vietnam... Full review

'Rolling Thunder' epitomizes to me what is great about 1970s movies. Just imagine this one remade today! It'd be a John Woo-esque shoot 'em up "action" blockbuster with slo mo explosions and a "hip" techno soundtrack! But we have here... Full review

William Devane plays a rare sympathetic role in Rolling Thunder , though his behavior is just as cold-blooded and sharkish as in any of his villainous assignments. Devane is cast as Maj. Charles Rane, a recently released Vietnam POW who is given a hero's welcome in his Texas hometown. ... Full Review

Devane and Jones are outstanding. The town welcomes him like a hero, giving him a Cadillac convertible, a hooker called Linda (Haynes) and a silver dollar for every day of the eight years he spent in the jungle hell-hole. ... Full Review

William Devane plays a rare sympathetic role in Rolling Thunder, though his behavior is just as cold-blooded and sharkish as in any of his villainous assignments. Tommy Lee Jones co-stars as Rane's best friend, Johnny Vohden, who unquestioningly agrees to help Rane in his mission of revenge. ... Full Review
