Summary: The first ten minutes are ugly
Review: ...and I am not kidding. Very hard to watch a pretty girl get raped and beating to death. Just not my thing. After five years I still can't watch the the opening of this film. Maybe I'm just squemish or maybe this film really honestly shows the ugly side of humanity. Very hard pounding for an opening. Sally Field shows her full acting chops in this film. Especially when she calls her daugther and hears her being attacked and she's running up and down screaming for help. I still get goosebumps thinking about it. The opening of this film and the ending are worth it to buy it. Just don't and this is a WARNING, don't let kids watch this film. It's that powerful and that disturbing to watch. I was just dumbfounded when I realized that this film was not recieved with praise when it opened or that it didn't do well at the box-office either. Now why is that. Okay granted the opening of this film is hard to watch. But the story is great and actors are A-list, not to mention there acting. Maybe it was actually showing that a woman with a gun went out of her way to avenge the rape and muder of her daughter. After the justice system failed her. Hell, I would do it too. I would have done the same thing she did. Even if the system put him in jail.

Summary: Very good, but not for people with weak stomachs.
Review: Basically because I am one of those people.To a person like me, who really hates to see young beautiful teenage girls killed mercilessly by heartless so called "men", this movie turned my stomach the day I saw the preview for the first time. When I finally watched this movie my one and only time ever, I couldn't sleep the rest of the night. Just the recurring thought of Julie (Karen's daughter) being mercilessly beaten and murdered by Robert Doob (Kiefer) and he gets away with it makes me ill and strengthens my love and desire to protect women like that. If there's anybody else out there like me considering this movie, hear me out. This is not for you. It's a well made movie, but the plot will make you ill.

Summary: Great Movie,Great Acting,Great Script.
Review: Eye For An Eye is one of those films where you know through the whole movie who the killer is but it still surprises you through the whole movie.Sally Field plays a mother who is talking to her daughter on the phone when her daughter explains she has to answer the door.After that we see and hear screaming and a man who you clearly see as Kiefer Sutherland raping and torturing her.The mother now devestated begins to seek revenge on the man when the case goes to trial but is botched by a dumb attorney.
Now the man is walking the streets even though he raped and murdered her daughter.She starts by just spying on the man watching him pick his next target,but when he realizes it things do get sort of ugly.The supporting cast which includes Ed Harris as the husband are characters which aren't even really needed for they could take all of Harris scenes out and wouldn't have to edit any thing else.But the film is a great thriller with great performances by Field and Sutherland.

Summary: RIGHT ON, REVIEWER GOTSTUFF!
Review: I first saw this movie on television. This is one of the best revenge movies I've seen. Justice is finally done, legally....
just like the guilty rapist and murderer got off legally...
This movie, somehow, gave me emotional release. When I was four years old, a little neighbor boy killed my kitten with a toy metal rake. I saw him from the window, I ran screaming..the kitten was dead. He ran, throwing the rake down the alley. He denied he did it to his parents, to my parents, to me. My kitten was still just as dead, and his parents said he was incapable of doing such a horrible thing. This is how this movie makes you feel, except now substitue a human life for a kitten, and a gloating, smurking murderer for a little boy.
Donald Sutherland portrays to perfection the villain you love to hate. Sally Field, as ever, flawless. I was amazed at how much better I felt after seeing this movie.

Summary: Never underestimate the power of a mother's love.
Review: I have watched this movie a dozen times and I am still amazed at how "Karen" (Sally Field) carries out the execution of her daughter's rapist/murderer. Although the plot of the movie revolves around a most unpleasant subject, it was a dose of reality and really hits home because this does happen in real life and how many never pay for their crime due to a technicality. This movie shows Sally Field at her best.

Summary: Sally's so worked up!
Review: I know that her daughter was raped and killed, but two hours of Sally Field freaking out over everything gets to me. The plot was decent. The killer, played by Kiefer Sutherland, was by far the most disturbing thing in the movie. Kiefer can play good and Kiefer can play bad, but OH when he plays bad he's ruthless. Overall, a good movie if you want to feel unsafe in your own home. And if can take that much Sally, well, you're a bigger person than I am.
Rating:
Summary: Well acted and very dramatic.
Review: I really liked this movie. I thought it was very dramatic and entertaining. Sally Field is a very gifted actress. This movie was extremely powerful, and you may be shocked by some of the scenes. The scene where Sally's Field's daughter dies is especially moving.
Rating:
Summary: EXCELLENT ACTING!
Review: In this movie,Sally Field does an EXCELLENT job portraying an anguished mom who is seeking justice for the brutal rape and murder of her teenaged daughter. And Keifer Sutherland is absolutely HATEABLE in HIS role as the depraved, scumbag murderer, (which I guess proves that he did an EXCELLENT job, as well)! This film pokes fun of the American justice system: It's obvious that Sutherland's character committed the vicious rape and murder, (along with a SUBSEQUENT rape and murder!), but is allowed to go free due to some legal mumbo-jumbo technicality! You really feel Feild's character's rage at the injustice of it all, as she decides to get her OWN revenge on the brutal killer, (who actually "taunts" her in court)! Warning: The rape scenes in this movie are VERY harsh and realistic, but all in all, an EXCELLENT, suspense-filled movie, with EXCELLENT acting. In my opinion, this is one movie that is DEFINITELY worth seeing, AND owning!
