Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Mike LeMar Since the first is what kicked the movie off so that everything happened from there, I had to mark this one down drastically. It's definitely sub- par. As Sally Field's racing through the traffic jam for help, she would realistically get some, especially when HER stopped car is toward the front of the jam, helping it to STAY jammed. People wouldn't keep shutting her out like she's just some lunatic as she keeps going from car to car, obviously frantic, out of her mind. She's on the phone, so it's evident that she has an extreme situation going on. It's not until she's on the sidewalk and trips and falls on her face when she's finally spoken to. This is very unrealistic. And when she's finally spoken to, she's idiotically asked if she's OK... Does it SEEM LIKE SHE'S OK??? It wasn't out of concern about her fall, it was out of curiosity about her sanity. At the END of the movie, Kiefer Sutherland's fall from the stairs to on top of Sally Field is obviously fake/discontinued. When he actually lands on her, it's a pretty soft landing for where he started his fall. I know they couldn't literally have him fall on her from several steps up or it would've seriously injured Sally, but still. It doesn't look real and continuous at all.

jkl_football This is the story of Karen McCann a loving wife and mother who seeks her own justice when the court system frees her daughter's killer. I have read the reviews of this movie, and I'm disappointed with some reviews. This movie is a brilliant piece of cinema. There are some plot holes, but overall this movie is superb. I will say this the opening rape scene of Karen's daughter is horrifying to watch. To be honest Every time I watch this movie I try to skip that part. However, if you watch this movie for the first time I feel you would be cheating yourself out of feeling hate and anger when the court releases the killer. The characters all develop so well! Especially the killer Robert Doob. Kiefer Sutherland is so good! His opening line in his performance comes at the case scene when he gets released, and he stares right in the eyes of Karen's eyes and says, "Sssssssssorry." He was mocking the fact that her daughter had a stutter. It gives you chills. Lastly, Sally Field is absolutely astounding she may not have gotten an Oscar out of this performance, but I feel any other actress who would have to give this performance could never do as good as she does! The same goes for Kiefer I feel he needed to see a therapist or something after this performance. If you have not seen this movie you need to!

amosduncan_2000 Sometimes stars have to appear in crap to keep the studio happy, but what happened to the great director John Schlesinger was really sad. He was reduced to doing tripe like this female Death Wish along with the equally routine "Pacific Heights". A long way from "Midnight Cowboy" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday" to be sure. Oh well, his quality films will live on. This garbage will only be there to satisfy revenge film fans. Those people might as well be watching Monster Truck Rallies. Schlesinger showed some skill with violence in "Marathon Man" butyou don't see it in this stinker.

cppguy Sometimes it's more interesting to review the reviews than review the movie. There's nothing technically wrong with this movie. Production values are fine. The acting is fine. Anyone rating this a 1 is an incompetent reviewer. 1-star reviews so far rant that Ed Harris ruined the movie and at the same time wonder why Super Ed was saddled with such a horrible supporting cast. Maybe reviewers should be allowed to vote 4-6 until they prove competency.Back to the movie. So far, I have yet to see a movie with Sally Field where she doesn't shine. While her movies may not be perfect, she's a superb actress. Like Tom Hanks, she generally picks winners to be in (funny they starred in at least 2 movies together). I'm also developing a liking for Joe Montegna. I see him in a lot of films and he brings a nice competency to supporting roles. Same for Ed Harris. I like Kiefer Sutherland in his various movies and he does a fine job (even if slightly over the top here) of being creepy.So let's talk film content. Revenge films are intriguing in many ways. To an extent, that concept is an easy way to develop conflict for the viewer. However, it's much harder to come up with a reason for the vengeance. "The Sting" took revenge to high art. "Eye for an Eye" is not high art, so no 10 from me for the film. A 7 will have to do. Others have compared this to the better known "Death Wish," but I think this was better produced and had better flow. Aspects of the movie are predictable, but I've seen many a good movie that was predictable.Summary: if you're scanning Netflix or Blockbuster for an unseen movie with decent action and dialog that moves at a good pace, "Eye for an Eye" isn't revenge on the level of "M," "The Sting," or "Gran Torino" but it's a decent watch... especially if you like the acting talents of Field, Sutherland, Harris and Montegna. If you like action/revenge films, pop some popcorn, curl up with someone special and enjoy.
