Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

nattymyoung First of all I cannot believe this movie has an overall rating of 6.1 on IMDb. This is by far one of the best films I have ever seen. I came across it on my Netflix account one night and decided to give it a whirl. WOW. I hate those movies where you waste the first half waiting for it to get to the point. This one however wasted no time at all. Within the first ten minutes the shocking rape scene was happening and needless to say the acting was outstanding from every character! From then on I was hooked on this film, and I knew that the rest of it was going to be an intense journey. The way the mother reacts to the situation was spot on and I felt for her throughout the whole movie. It's a great but chilling story about justice, and revenge. Every character performed fantastic and there were moments where I felt sick to my stomach with the villain. To say it's not a horror movie, to me it was terrifying and it's safe to say ill never answer my door again! Nowadays movies like this are full of tacky lines and pathetic acting. This one keeps it very real and quite traumatising. Well done!

flarepunk So I have been looking for this movie for a while. I watched it years ago with my mother and only remembered three parts: A girl being killed by an ice sculpture while on the phone with her mother, the perpetrator talking to a little girl in a playground playhouse, and the mother leaving her hat at the perpetrator's apartment.After discovering it was 'Eye for an Eye' (some of my difficulty was likely because I kept searching for it in Lifetime movie forums' I was happily surprised by just what had made such an impact on me. The language is astonishing (though I'm not complaining, language in life is astonishing) and the acting is very well done.The drama is there, it knows what it's doing, and it delivers. Most shocking quote I'd say is 'I don't really like kitty pu**y, but I'm willing to make an exception. Stay out of my neighborhood, and I'll stay out of yours.' So, 10/10 for everything other than just how neatly wrapped all of this seems to be. The evidence proves JUST little enough for the police, so that the mother is forced to go vigilante. Every scene gives her JUST the right amount of information, and everyone has JUST the right things to say - most of the time. I especially loved a scene where a coworker discovers she followed the Boon around where he lived, she says 'Have you told anyone? Have you told Mac?' - 'No' she replies.' - 'Good, don't. He'd have a COW! And don't do it again.' - 'Oh I won't. It was a dumb idea. A dumb idea.' and sally field smiles. -- So how many people BELIEVE she is 'not' going to do it again? Right...Despite my complaints, a great film. Though I have to wonder if Boon have filed a complaint against the investigator when he grabbed Boon's testicles and choked him in the back room of the grocery store where he worked... I wonder if they man would still have a job??

sddavis63 Sally Fields does a good job with this movie as a revenge seeking mother of a teenage daughter who's been raped and murdered. I suppose to make this worth watching, she has to do a good job with this. The story itself has been done over and over: seeking revenge after a violent crime because the justice system has failed. That's a pretty cliché type of situation and story, so there's not really a great deal to recommend this as far as originality is concerned. But Fields is good, and Kiefer Sutherland is appropriately creepy and threatening as the rapist/murderer. The portrayal of the rape of Karen's daughter was terrifying, but (thankfully) not especially graphic.) The same could be said for the later rape committed by Sutherland's Doob. The movie, in my opinion, also makes a fair point about the justice system leaning too far on the side of defending the rights of obviously guilty criminals at the expense of actually dispensing justice for their victims. I understand the need to protect the rights of the accused, but there does have to be a balance, and that balance is sometimes lost in the system that we have.I was kind of put off by the "group" the McCann's attended for people who had lost loved ones to violence. To each his or her own, I suppose, but I can't imagine that sitting around night after night talking about the same thing over and over and over again is really going to help anyone move on, and I wasn't convinced by the "vigilante organization" aspect of this.I have to say, though, that I did like the ending. What I was finding distasteful up to this point was that Karen was going to turn vigilante, and by so doing she'd be be risking losing her other daughter as well by ending up in prison, which might have satisfied her own desire for revenge but would have been very selfish toward the younger daughter. So, the way she played things, she made sure that (a) she'd get her revenge, but (b) that she wouldn't lose anything more by doing it. So, the ending worked for me. Overall, I found this a pretty good watch. (7/10)

Gordon-11 This film is about a mother who goes to seek justice for the brutal murder of her teenage daughter."Eye for an Eye" is an intense drama that tells a family's grief in losing a teenage girl in the family. They all react in different ways; the father seems casual and detached on the surface, but actually has intense anger inside. The younger daughter blames herself, while the mother becomes obsessed with getting justice. The plot is good, it is engaging and well told. However, I think the title gives the whole film away, so things will happen in a certain way in order for the film to be called "Eye for an Eye".
