Synopsis

Abby McWilliams and her brother Loren are particularly normal teenagers. Their parents Mac and Mary Beth are killed in an accident. It's decided that Abby and Loren live in Glenby, Florida with their Aunt Fay and Uncle Charlie who own a gas station and an amusement park.

Loren and Abby don't have much trouble making friends at their new high school. Loren starts dating Karen, the local sheriff's daughter while Abby starts dating Mark. Loren feels uncomfortable when he sees a blond-haired guy harassing Abby in the lunchroom. Mark tells Loren and Abby that the blond-haired guy is Eddie Dutra, a teenage drug addict who is the leader of a gang of redneck thugs.

Loren helps Abby keep Dutra at a distance. Dutra's retaliations keep getting more vicious until Dutra forces a showdown at the amusement park by kidnapping Abby.

Andrew Rodriguez
4/10

The musical choices in Striking Back seemed mismatched and out of place, often distracting from the intensity of key scenes rather than complementing them. The lack of cohesion in the soundtrack made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the unfolding drama, ultimately detracting from the impact of pivotal moments in the plot.

Jennifer Gonzalez
1/10

I found the composition of the score for Striking Back to be repetitive and monotonous, with little variation in tone or mood. The lack of diversity in the musical themes made it challenging to differentiate between different scenes and failed to evoke the necessary emotions to fully engage with the characters' struggles and conflicts. Overall, the soundtrack felt like a missed opportunity to elevate the film's narrative and fell short of leaving a lasting impression.

The soundtrack for Striking Back felt uninspired and generic, lacking any emotional depth or connection to the characters' struggles and triumphs throughout the film. It failed to enhance the storytelling and instead felt like background noise without adding any significant value to the overall viewing experience.
