Customer Reviews of Eye For An Eye
Great Movie,Great Acting,Great Script. 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.
TURN ABOUT IS FAIR PLAY
Justice? Revenge? It's really not that big an issue. Thanks to a gruesomely powerful turn by Kiefer Sutherland as a killer/rapist, the audience cannot help but stand with Sally Field in her quest for justice. Whether this justice comes through our legal system (which is never truly just), or whether it comes at her hands, Kiefer is definitely not an addition to the social world. Director John Schlesinger reinforces this sociopathic person by showing Kiefer pour hot coffee on a stray dog; drive like he owned the road; sneers at Sally and Ed in the courtroom, knowing he will get off.
Sally Field is one of those actresses many people find obnoxious, mainly because of her infamous "You really like me" speech at the Oscars. One cannot deny however her ferocity and dedication in this role. Sutherland of course is perfect, and there's some good support from Joe Mantegna and Beverly D'Angelo. Ed Harris' performance isn't as emotional as I would have liked, but one can understand his understated delivery.
The movie is another DEATH WISH, but it packs a powerful wallop and the rape scenes are truly despicable.
RIGHT ON, REVIEWER GOTSTUFF!
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.
