...seems to have enraged some viewers of this film. The bad guy is really bad. Guess what, they're like that in the real world too. There are plenty of bad guys out there who have no redeeming qualities and do laugh at the system, assuming it will never be able to really punish them. I found this movie very believable and thought the acting was terrific and the climax very satisfying. It was nice to see something come out of Hollywood that wasn't skewed in perspective by the left coast that produced it. Anybody who thinks Robert Doob as a character is too one-dimensional to be believable has never met a violent criminal in the flesh.

A mediocre drama with Fields at the vortex, "Eye For an Eye" attempts to exploit the hate we all feel at heinous crime and the natural inclinations toward uncivilized retribution when the crime goes unpunished. Fields plays a woman whose daughter has been raped and murdered by the sneering Sutherland who is so evil he not only rapes and murders twice in the film but he pours hot coffee on a dog. Now that's evil. Such is the mentality behind this film in which the good are very good and the bad are very bad and the plot is as obvious as the "E" on an eye chart. An okay watch if there's nothing better to be found while channel surfing.

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".
