Review of Punishment Park (1971) by Brendan B — 07 Aug 2009

A brutal and incendiary film that riles up and provokes its audience as much as it forces them to examine the nature of America, violence and government. It's astonishingly realistic and manages the remarkable task of not taking sides in the central conflict between the counterculture and the system.

Whether you're a conservative or a liberal or just plain apathetic, this film will make mad and then make you think. Terrific.
