Eye for an Eye

Eye for an Eye (1996) is a tense drama-thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by John Schlesinger. After Karen McCann's teenage daughter is murdered, a courtroom technicality sets the killer loose.

Sally Field carries the film as a mother whose grief curdles into something colder and far more dangerous. Kiefer Sutherland plays Robert Doob, the predator who walks free and keeps prowling near her family. Ed Harris is the husband trying to pull his wife back from the edge. But Karen has already decided: if the law won't act, she will. The story lives in that uneasy gap between justice and revenge.

Schlesinger, the filmmaker behind Midnight Cowboy, isn't interested in a clean vigilante power trip. He digs into the rot that loss leaves behind, and refuses to hand out easy answers. Field's performance is the reason to show up. If you like hard-edged thrillers about failed justice and a parent pushed past the breaking point, this one bites.
