Great movie! Great acting! Definitely recommend!

Our niece loved it!

Absolutely love this movie

I had a crush on Sally when she was the Flying Nun.

After seeing the movie ENOUGH, one might presume that Enough copied Eye For An Eye. Both are different stories, but both reflect the realty of our justice system failing to protect the innocent and convict a psychopath. "We can't do anything unless "he"(Keifer)" does something else. And even when he does commit rape and murder again, he is still a free man due to lack of evidence. I think forensic technology has come a long way since this movie was made, but the justice system hasn't changed much. I highly disagree with what one reviewer said about the film about a woman unjustly killing a man. First off, they say if you sell drugs once and only once or if it's your last time, or if someone convinced you, it doesn't matter, you're still guilty of the crime and you are labeled a DEALER. You're responsible for your own actions. Keifer breaks into Sally Field's house at the end with intent to do her bodily harm. The fact that she provoked him, or made him angry by trashing his house and leaving her hat on purpose is irrelevant. There is so such law that states, if a person is provoked can come and kill you justifiably. She had every right in the world to kill him. It was still self defense. But the revenge motive is where it gets tricky. We all would agree with her. He raped and killed her daughter and got away with it, as well as another woman. He was a unremorseful pyschopath who needed to be locked up or killed. But the fact that she planned it, as messed up as our judicial system is, wouldnt care what he did to her daughter. But once again, no one can make you do anything. He broke into her house and she defended herself. I'm sure the law would not recommend that everyone pulls a stunt like this when the justice system fails you. To take the law into your owns hands is merely a risk on your own freedom. But we must remember it's just a movie.My only critism is there is a little bit of what is called OVER-ACTING in which we all know Sally Field is known for I.E.(Soapdish)But the thing is, she is one of very few actresses that can get away with it. It isnt at all like Jennifer Lopez's horrible wanna be actress, make you ashamed you spent the money to see such a hideous performance, type of over acting. Sally DOES know how to act, she is talented, and knows how to go all the way with her emotions. Another example is when she finds out her ex husband is the maid (Mrs. Doubtfire) and she is first in shock, then it turns to anger, and then acceptance. The director left it in, because even though it was a little over the top, she was brilliant. I mean, it isnt an everyday situation you find out your ex dressed up as a woman to be the nanny for your kids.

The Unthinkable Happens. Karen is on the phone with her daughter Julie who is at home decorating the house for her small sister's birthday party when the doorbell rings. Julie tells her mother she is going to answer the door. A man pushes his way into the house, thrusts Julie to the floor, and violently attacks her. Karen can hear Julie scream and calling for help. Karen is helpless and stuck on the highway in a traffic jam. The phone is not disconnected so she cannot call the police. Karen, played by Sally Field, runs from car to car begging for someone to call the police. Most ignore her, until finally one woman calls the police. When Karen finally gets home, she learns that her beloved 17-year old daughter is dead.Months later, Det. Sgt. Denillo, played by Joe Mantagna, has a suspect, and DNA evidence to prove it. The Prosecutor tells Karen and her husband, Mack, played by Ed Harris, that it's an open and shut case. However, when the case is brought before the judge, the defendant, played by Kiefer Sutherland, gets off on a technicality. It's incredible that the Judge who knows that the evidence clearly shows that the creep before him killed young Julie, yet he won't allow the evidence to stand. And the defense attorney defends her client knowing full well that he killed a beautiful young girl with her whole life ahead of her. These two, Judge and defense attorney, are educated people, and yet they let a rapist- murderer get away with such a heinous crime. This film points out that the Justice System needs revamping.Karen joins a grieving-support group, and learns that some members are taking the law into their own hands and killing those who killed their loved ones. The Killer who killed Julie has killed yet another woman. And there is no proof against him. What Karen does to stop the rapist-murderer is incredible and necessary.Sally Field, a great actor, is outstanding as Karen. Ms. Field is always excellent in every part she plays. Ed Harris as Mack Karen's husband is also outstanding. Joe Mantagna as Det. Sgt. Denillo is excellent. Kiefer Sutherland, a fine actor, is sleazy and convincing as a brutal rapist-murderer.

Aùn no me llega, pero la estoy esperando con ansias.De las mejores pelis que he visto.Keifer shuterlan puede ser el peor villano o el mejor hèroe.Es un excelente actor.

Not an easy DVD to find anywhere else. Great film.

I am a fan of Stephen King films so needed this one for my collection

CONTAINS SPOILERS Karen (Sally Fields) lives every parents nightmare when her seventeen year old daughter is raped and murdered. Karen hears the whole thing over the phone but is powerless to help. She becomes obsessed with the killer and makes up her mind to ensure that justice is done. When they find the murderer it seems that the case against him is watertight however the police mess up and are tied with red tape and Karen becomes frustrated and bitter. She soon discovers she isn't the only one who has been let down by the justice system. Kieffer Sutherland is genuinely creepy as the scumbag killer, there is one scene where he is drumming and the sense of pent-up sexual aggression really comes across. It is impossible to watch this movie without hoping that Karen gets justice for her daughter.
