Trivia
Jamie Lee Curtis was originally cast as Karen McCann, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with House Arrest (1996). The lead female role was in the end cast with actress Sally Field.

Goofs
When her daughter practicing French correctly says, "Sur la table," Karen "corrects" her, insisting on, "Sur le table." This however is wrong and her daughter had been right the first time.

Quotes
Robert Doob: What are you gonna do? Shoot me?
Karen McCann: You broke into my house with the intent to do me bodily harm. The law says I have the right to protect myself.
Robert Doob: What? You want me to say I'm sorry? It could have been anybody. I don't even remember what she looked like. It's nothing personal.
Karen McCann: She was seventeen years old. She was five-foot two. She had brown eyes. Her name was Julie. She was my daughter.
Robert Doob: She was a great f-f-f-fuck.

Predictable revenge flick....

One or two minor surprises cannot overcome the utter predictability of "Eye For An Eye". With this cast there was tremendous potential that for the most part remains unrealized. The script is so by the books that "I've seen all this before" thoughts quickly surface. Kiefer Sutherland really remains in the background for most of the film. If his character had been better developed, and less dialog between Sally Field and Ed Harris the movie would have benefited. Philip Baker Hall appears to be fine tuning his character for "Hard Eight", and really has little bearing on the outcome. If you can overcome the familiarity of the script give this a try. - MERK
