Eye For An Eye

Karen McCann's (Sally Field) world is torn apart while driving home one day when she receives a call on her cell phone from her daughter--who is being raped and murdered as she speaks. The murderer--smirking, animalistic Robert Doob (Kiefer Sutherland)--is arrested, but is then released on a technicality. Seeking an outlet for her anger and despair, Karen joins a support group--and then a vigilante organization--becoming increasingly obsessed with bringing her daughter's killer to justice and gaining vengeance at whatever cost. Directed by John Schlesinger (MIDNIGHT COWBOY) and based on the novel by Erika Holzer.

  • "...Fine direction, photography and plotting have rarely been combined so effectively in a serial-killer story....Kiefer Sutherland excels in his juicily repellant role..."

    • Sight and Sound
  • Contrived and unpleasant little pro-vigilante movie that loads the scales of justice while providing Sally Field with an opportunity to display prolonged hysteria.

    An OK thriller

    Started well but went downhill thereafter. Keifer Sutherland playing his usual slobby yob bully/serial killer. Talk about type-cast - 24 must have been a seemed like a God send.

    Excellent Movie

    This is a good movie and leaves you touched at the end. Good must always prevail over evil. Excellent acting by Keifer Suderland too! watch this one.
