John Serba Decider 01/15/2020
Uneven but enjoyable, Eye for an Eye is just preposterous enough to be entertaining, but no so preposterous that it fails to suspend our disbelief. Go to Full Review

Riviu R 07/01/2023 Good, just good. Not really special like an amazing thriller about "revenge-esque" movie. But the shocking ending was unpredicted. See more T T 03/20/2023 Very slow, boring, and with a predictable ending. Also, while the story is interesting, the plot is full of holes. Overall, it's a dark and depressing movie that is well below average in quality. See more chris k 07/01/2021 A simple yet powerful thriller that could certainly enchant some viewers with its raw realism. Still, I found it underwhelming. See more 05/29/2021 Quando nos pegamos nervosas pq estamos a torcer para o vilão, ou melhor o protagonista antagônico, vigador, adorável, porque "Quem com ferro fere..." Título mais propício não há. E que desfecho, icônico e irônico, trágico, o sangue escorrendo pelo seio, é de uma genialidade, ótima produção trina (faltou a França), roteiro, atuações, desenvolvimento, tudo muito bem temperadinho, num prato servido de modo impecável, e perfeito de ser degustado… Adorável… See more 01/20/2021 Simple but mostly effective only served by its slow burn script but finally saved by a no compromise ending and an always on-line performance from Luis Tosar. An entertaining thriller not going through the usual suspects. See more 07/28/2020 El 2019 es un buen año para Luis Tosar. See more Read all reviews
