The film overall is one that works with every department doing more than good with their work, leading to a solid film.

Elements of Madness

If watching someone be a badass is your thing while they cut down fools who dare underestimate them, then EYE FOR AN EYE is going to scratch that itch, plain and simple. It delivers no more or less than it promises ... .

Rated: 3/5

Crooked Marquee

An effective, entertaining action movie, with some exciting fight scenes and a charismatic lead performance from Xie Miao.

Miao Xie is quietly charismatic as the lead, but this never feels like more than an inferior Chinese copy of a Japanese classic.

Rated: 1.5/4

I went in thinking its a rip-off of Zaitochi but this is shot in a different style and the action scenes are very slick without overdone wire-fu. Recommended!
