The premise of this collection of essays is that the low budget exploitation movies of the 70s reflect the social and political themes of the era just as well as 'respectable' ones like The Godfather and Taxi Driver. I'd only heard of some of the movies he writes about (Vanishing Point, Foxy Brown) but all of the essays are engaging. My one complaint is the author gets a little "get off my lawn!" in his comments on films made after 1979. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
