Amazon.co.uk Review
A harrowing, if limited, 1993 thriller, Desperate Justice stars Lesley Ann Warren as Carol, a mother whose young daughter is raped by the caretaker of her school and left in a coma. The culprit is quickly rounded up; however, the case against him is dismissed for lack of rock-solid evidence. In a moment of blind fear and rage, Carol metes out summary justice of her own--and must face up to the consequences.
Desperate Justice is suitably restrained in dealing with the violence central to its subject matter. While competently enough scripted and acted to retain the viewer's interest and sympathy, it has a slightly fuzzy, sucrose feel about it that acts as a general anaesthetic against the inevitably disturbing subject matter. The final scenes in particular achieve a tidy, somewhat predictable sense of "closure" so beloved by Americans. Despite its made-for-TV air, Desperate Justice has just enough about it to ensure a passable late night 90 minutes over a mug of Horlicks.
On the DVD: This is not the sort of movie that was ever designed to benefit from DVD enhancement. Picture format is 4:3. As well as trailers, there are included here items entitled "About the film" and "About the stars", which turn out to be perfunctory text-only blurbs. --David Stubbs

While the movie is in tact, my complaint is with the fact that it will not play on any of my dvd devices. I can watch it on my computer, however this is not why I purchased the product. Have not received support from Amazon to date.
A MOTHER'S REVENGE
3 Sep 2011
Format:DVD
This is a great movie but can not be watched in the U.S.A. BECAUSE OF THE STUPID REGION 2. If the movie is made in the U.S.A. it stands to reason it should be available here in the U.S.A. and if someone from another country want to watch it why can't they have to be the ones to get it in a certain region. This is so aggravating that we get screwed out of owning great movies!!
