Kiefer Sutherland has never been more evil.He plays a paedophile who rapes and murders a womans teenage daughter.When the police neglect to take action the mother of the deceased takes the law into her own hands.
The action is intense and the movie in general is chilling to the bone!

when a mother of two hears the brutal murder of her eldest daughter down the phone she thinks her world has fallen apart. when the killer of her daughter is realeased due to a 'technical hitch' the determination for justice and revenge shows through as this ordinary mother turns away from the law and towards more effective methods. this film is believable which is rare with revenge plots and extreamily well acted. keifer suderland manages to disgust me and sally field plays a women losing it and dangerously close to the edge very well.
this movie guides the viewer through the reality of a grief striken family and demonstrates the strength of maternal instinct but also the psychological effect trauma has. this film has the power to anger any viewer and holds your attention throughout. well worth a watch.

I have always had a bit of a soft spot for Keither Sutherland, and having watched things such as Flatliners and 24 i suspected his talent was not just visual.This film proves this point well, in this he is an evil,unfeeling monster and is entirely believble.Sally Fields also gives an excellent performance as the mother of one of Keither's rape/murder victims,so horrified at the lack of justice involved that she decides to render her own punishment.I would warn people that some of the scences are disturbing to watch, but i think they are necessary to the film as a whole.

worth a watch
worth a watch as it is just like a typical channel 5 movie if you have not got anything else at all in your dvd collection to watch and are bored stiff it fits the bill.
