Eye for an Eye
Eye for an Eye is a 1996 movie where a man rapes and murders a woman’s daughter but the court fails to keep him behind bars. So the mother seeks her own form of justice.
It took twenty-two years for Hollywood to come up with a female version of 1974’s Death Wish, with Sally Field replacing Charles Bronson as the vigilante who extracts justice when the legal system fails. It’s an excellent movie with some chilling moments and a fine cast.
In addition to the Flying Nun you have Ed Harris as the virtually castrated husband, Kiefer Sutherland as a diabolical rapist/murderer, and Joseph Mantegna as a competent but overmatched detective.
I’m watching it right now for the thirty-first time.
I’m America’s Best Crime Writer – Barry Bowe – & I approve this message.
My first book – Born to Be Wild – was published in 1992 & is still selling on Amazon & Kindle. It’s a true story about certain members of the Warlocks motorcycle gang.
The story took 21 years to play out – with many twists & turns – an amalgam of Sons of Anarchy & Breaking Bad – but these outlaw bikers make the sons look like Cub Scouts.
