My familiar looks for a movie.

This movie was on a sample DVD I saw through working at a video store back in @2000. We never got the movie in, and it had all the hallmarks of shoestring budget, no name cast, and so forth.


The DVD had this image of an angry looking caucasian male whose body was of huge former american football linebacker(?) proportions. He was wearing a SWAT style bulletproof vest that he gets later in the movie, and was sporting either a shotgun, some other gun, or a hammer on the DVD.


I think the actor's name may have been Tom or Thom, though I don't think he's acted since then.


His character is shown at the start with some accomplices performing an armed robbery with balaclavas, vests and guns, and everything seems to go well, until one of his accomplices shoots him out of nowhere then leaves him lying there for the cops to arrest and throw in jail.


Many years later, we see that he is finally being released from prison. He has one single minded mission, to hunt down his former associate -who know wears suits and runs part of the organized crime in town- and kill him, and anyone else who gets in his way.


On his journey, he gets a motorcycle and the actor is so huge that the motorcycle looks like his butt ate it when he's on it. (and it isn't a small motorcycle either, possibly a harley style bike).


He just goes around looking for leads on where to find his target, with all the charm of a T-800. He holes up in a motel where he meets a woman who may have been a red light district worker who he befriends briefly.


He encounters various gangs mostly of different ethnicities, and there is a few other subplots going on, including two crooked cops in the main bad guy's pockets who become aware of the growing body count the MC is leaving in his wake.


There is a scene where some vietnamese(?) gang members talk to each other for a longish spell in their native tongue, without any translation subtitles.


Eventually the MC goes to a hardware store and takes or buys a hammer, possibly some other things (nailgun? definitely the hammer).


He ends up fighting and or stealing the outfit and bulletproof vest of some SWAT types the bad guy got the cops to send after him.


There's a warehouse scene where some skinny guy with machine pistols leaps down from a stack of pallettes and gets killed.


Our anti-hero gets wounded as he works his way through the mooks, and -knowing he might not get another chance to kill his prey- takes out the hammer and smashes the femur of his other forearm with it repeatedly before blacking out.


He wakes up strapped to a chair in a dark room with the suit guy and some minions standing by, where the suit guy tells him off for killing all his guys/wrecking his operations, then brags about how he can kill him for it.


Our MC laughs, pulls hard on his broken forearm snapping it clean, and tears his own arm apart to jab the suit guy through the throat with his exposed bone, puncturing it and causing him to fall back and bleed to death.


Our MC laughs loudly to himself, having achieved his vengeance, before the suit guy's minions shoot him repeatedly and he dies.


After though, there is a (black and white?) sequence of the MC on his bike, pulling up to a vehicle with the woman he met at the MOTEL (who I think also got killed prior to the MC tracking the suit guy's warehouse location down) and the two exchange words and smile in what looks like an afterlife scene.


THE END.


Would love to know what this movie was called.
