Movies such as "Taxi Driver" and "Raptors" tell the story of men relying on violence and lynching to maintain justice; while ".45" describes a weak and mute woman who leads to destruction by violence.
From today's perspective, this kind of R-grade cult film from the 1980s must be very old-fashioned. The plasma and shooting effects are very fake. However, the plot is still reasonable, and the style is obviously influenced by "Taxi Driver". After all, what you care about is gratitude and enmity, and you don’t need to emphasize too much logic. After being blackened, it becomes a psychopath and kills when you pick up a gun.
The atonal saxophone soundtrack is a bit harsh, but it's a good match with the muddy New York. Some mysteries are still acceptable. New York's mess is also a characteristic of the times.
I have to say that the heroine is very beautiful, with the taste of Natasha Kinski + Milla Jovovich. Nowadays, the blackening of the bad good girls has become the vengeance + nun costume cosplay routine, probably from this movie.
