THE DEATH SQUAD is a made-for-TV movie concerning the group of the title, who abduct and eliminate those whom they deem to have escaped justice. The squad is actually a cabal of rogue ex-cops / vigilantes.
Enter Robert Forster, as a cop sent undercover to infiltrate this group. Forster is very good in his conflicted role.
This theme had been explored a year prior in Clint Eastwood's MAGNUM FORCE, it would surface again in THE STAR CHAMBER with Michael Douglas, some nine years later. DEATH SQUAD's main strength lies in casting Forster, who brings this movie up several notches...
