About this movie

Karen McCann's (Sally Field) orderly life is shattered when a stranger breaks into her home and murders her 17-year-old daughter. But shock and grief turn into rage and disbelief when the killer (Sutherland) is released on a legal technicality. When he commits another murder - and is set free once again - Karen is determined to make him pay for his crimes. Alienating her husband (Harris) and her friends, Karen quietly and methodically devises a deadly plan for retribution. Directed by Oscarﾮwinner John Schlesinger (Midnight Cowboy, Marathon Man) and costarring Joe Mantegna and Beverly D'Angelo.

Ratings and reviews

...the disturbing rape scene and having Sally's ghastly horrific facial expressions permanently burned into my memory. She certainly knows how to scrunch her face to express absolute pain, terror, and despair. It appears to just crumple. Since Google does not allow posting an unrated review, I'm assigning the rating I think most fair. Although this movie imposes upon me an intense feeling of discomfort, it's for that very reason - of arousing such strong emotions - I believe it deserves my given rating.

Sally Field is such an amazing actress she carried this movie. The husband was garbage - he wanted her to get over her child being murdered. I didn't like how cold he was. The ending was very weak.

I love this movie. Sally field is amazing.. Its sad what happened at the beginning but I love how she doesn't sit back and take it...
