|---|
A girl washes up in HI o'd on Heroin. her gruff, fisherman father launches one man war for revenge after getting beatin'up, losing his boat and turned away by the police. he runs into old flames and new friends on the island in his quest. Boone is fun to watch and you are on his side from the get go.he gets some help from the crew of a dead seaman buddy who had tried to save his burning boat. the fire set, of course by the slimy worm that got Boone's daughter hooked in the first place. Big finale on Kona during a luao/ambush. good flick.
