Review of Eye for an Eye (1996) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 01 Jan 2000
Movies like Eye for an Eye cheapen our character by encouraging us to indulge simplistic emotions - to react instead of analyzing. It provides a one-in-a-million situation and tries to teach us a lesson from it; thoughtful audience members will be aware they're not being treated fairly.
This is filmmaking at the level of three-card monte. If you don't believe me, see "Dead Man Walking.".
