A Shakespearean-quality drama of revenge and family conflict from a quality Spanish pedigree.

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.

Good, just good. Not really special like an amazing thriller about "revenge-esque" movie. But the shocking ending was unpredicted.

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.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Really interesting film with dark implications, very entertaining and easy to follow. It has some small forcing of the texture and some holes, but still it is very nice so you don't give it much weight

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A simple yet powerful thriller that could certainly enchant some viewers with its raw realism. Still, I found it underwhelming.

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…

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

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.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
