Blu-ray Review: Siege (1983)

Among a backdrop of civil unrest and labor disputes, downtown Halifax becomes a warzone. At a local gay bar, a group of homophobic rioters crash the scene smacking their hands with the tools they carry in a scene that has absolutely zero symbolism whatsoever. Anyway, those assholes, along with their absolutely psychotic ringleader, the oft-mentioned Cabe (a chilling performance from Doug Lennox), take out everyone in the bar execution-style (seriously, Siege holds not a fucking thing back… this is hardcore shit) after they witness an “accidental” death at the mob’s hands. Thankfully one dude beats feet outta there and hides out in the apartment of Horatio (Tom Nardini), a social worker for blind kids with super-human hearing (never even discussed, they just can hear beyond the abilities of mortal man). Now, Horatio is keen on protecting the weak, so when that villainous scum comes a callin’ for their prey he enlists the help of Chester (Daryl Haney), his greaser-punk weapons
