  Decent, but flawed thriller, Eye for an Eye could have been much better than what it turned out to be. The script has a good idea for a plot, but it definitely could have used a few rewrites because the finished the film seems to struggle in delivering great thrills. There things that I liked about the film, but overall I felt that the film had too much wasted potential on-screen. Kiefer Sutherland is a great villain in the film, and his performance makes the film worth watching despite its flaws. Director John Schlesinger could have done a bit better and considering that this is a revenge thriller, the way the film could have ended up could have turned out so much better if the script was better written, and some parts would have been rewritten. Eye for an Eye is a prime example of a decent flick that could have been much better, but ended up of falling flat of its mark. This is not a bad film, but it could have been so much better. The strength of the film lies in Sutherland's performance. As a whole this is an entertaining flick that I liked somewhat, but I did feel that it could have been much better than what it turned out to be. If you want a mindless, somewhat predictable thriller, then give this film a shot. However keep your expectations low on this one as it doesn't try to do anything creative to elevate the boundaries of the genre. Enjoyable, but flawed, Eye for an Eye is the type of film that you watch on a rainy night when there's nothing else better to do.

  I expected more from the director of Midnight Cowboy, Makes a few fair points but overall disappointing

  The film is slickly mad and suspenseful, but manipulative and unpleasant; under the lynch-mob surface there are hints of a more honest, thoughtful film about grief, loss, and anger.

  Starting with a dramatic opening, this film is quite good on a few different levels. the revenge plot is the most clear, but it also deals with the loss and anger of loosing a loved one, technicalities and loopholes of the law and also the pure rage that can dirive your average person to want to kill. Sutherland plays the bad guy pretty well. VERDICT: Definitely worth a watch and leads you to question yourself if you were in the same position.

  Excellent thriller. Great cast.

  sally field's obsession with finding her daughter's killer is a kind of unsettling. and that denouement scared the crap out of me when i was younger.

  Very good pic that is one of the few movies that Keifer Sutherland did playing the villain. I for one are so used to him portraying the hero, eg. Jack Bauer in 24. Its nice occasionally to see him change it up and he does it extremly well here as well. Good performances all around… More

  I think Kiefer Sutherland gives the best performance in the movie. He plays man who kills Sally Fields young daughter out of cold blood. He gets off and she learns how to fire a gun to protect her family from him. Sutherland is in better "Big Bad Wolf" form than he was in Freeway even. If it wasn't for him, I'd say the movie should have went straight to Lifetime.

  I remember seeing the preview for this movie and it was so good that the audience was like damn, gotta see that. It's a good thriller type movie and Sally Field is great. Kiefer is very creepy as the pyscho.
