The Expert
Judge. Jury. Executioner.
Directed by Rick Avery, William Lustig
A revenge-driven action thriller centered on a grieving man's pursuit of justice against a psychopath, built on violence and personal loss rather than moral complexity.
It was a brutal murder that sent deranged psychopath Martin Kagan to prison. It was a naive deputy warden that granted him a stay of execution. Now, the police department's tactical defence instructor, John Lomax, wants revenge for his beloved sister's death.
