Tank

“A tank a day keeps the law away.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 53, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A soldier's dispute with a corrupt sheriff escalates until a restored Sherman tank becomes the obvious negotiating tool. James Garner's easy presence gives the unlikely small-town conflict some warmth; the outsized response is the main reason to gather friends.
