436. Brotherhood of Death (1976)

November 22, 2014

After joining the army and serving a brief but violent tour of Vietnam, three men return home and find themselves in the throes of another war, a race war, between a peaceful community and the ku klux klan after some guys beat up another man and raped his girlfriend. The town's sheriff was the closest thing to being a decent, helpful human being, but even he wasn't enough to put a stop to the sickening klan's evil deeds. Framed for murder, the veterans utilized some of the tricks they learned in the war and put together a plan to clear their names and end the bloodshed. This was a very good movie that tackled a controversial subject and didn't seem as overtly one-sided as some similar movies were. If you get a chance to see it, I would recommend you do (pick up the Code Red blu-ray, or watch the whole movie on YouTube below). Supposedly three of the guys were professional football players back in the day, but I don't know enough about football to know any more about that.
