Eye For An Eye (1996)








Karen and Mack McCann find their world shattered after the brutal rape and murder of their daughter, Julie.  After a technicality releases her murderer, Karen takes it upon herself to get justice.  She tracks Robert Doob and plots his murder with the help of her support group.  Karen lures Doob to her house and shoots him, claiming it was self-defense, though Mack and Detective Denillo know the truth.

The critics and I didn't see eye to eye about Eye For An Eye.  Dismissed as exploitative and unpleasant, I was all for Sally Field taking matters into her own hands after yet another example of how the law can fail us.  Kiefer Sutherland delivers a superb creepy performance as delivery man/murderer Robert Doob.  It would not sweep the nation until six months later, but The Macarena can be heard as Karen follows Doob.  Hey Macarena!  Eye, er, ay!
