Instead, I see it as a freaky portrayal of war veterans whose &#8220;instinct&#8221; to engage in combat hasn&#8217;t left them. While not entirely successful, the film does make us wonder whether Robertson is correct in assuming there will be another ambush, or if the entire venture is a figment of his overactive imagination. As Peary notes, the &#8220;unexpected ending is terrifying&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ernest Borgnine as Lou<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Borgnine.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Borgnine-1024x694.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"434\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Borgnine-1024x694.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Borgnine-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Borgnine-128x87.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Borgnine-768x520.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Borgnine.png 1457w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Henry Silva as Zeke<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Silva.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Silva-1024x702.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"439\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Silva-1024x702.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Silva-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Silva-128x88.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Silva-768x526.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Shoot-Silva.png 1449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Incredibly tense and violent shoot-out scenes\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, but it&#8217;s an interesting revenge flick and worth watching once. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0075212\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.canuxploitation.com\/review\/vengeance.html\">Canuxploitation Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I knew I shouldn&#8217;t have come on this mother f**king trip.&#8221; Synopsis: A group of macho war veterans (led by Cliff Robertson) are ambushed while hunting in the Canadian hills, and return fire.
