Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except
A gritty 1980s action-thriller about a wounded Vietnam vet drawn back into violence when a cult threatens his attempt at a quiet civilian life.
Jack Stryker took two bullets in the leg in Vietnam and was carried back by one of his men. When he returns, he tries to live a quiet life in his cabin and go back out with his girlfriend, Sally.
