Verdict on An Eye for an Eye
An Eye for an Eye is an action thriller following a cop who searches for answers after his partner is murdered. He leaves the force and conducts his own investigation causing chaos in the city. However, he isn’t prepared for the size of the organisation he must take on.
This movie lets Chuck Norris unleash his martial arts skills against a new threat. Sure, it becomes one man breaking the rules to bring down a criminal organisation, but it does it in a fun way. We get plenty of fights, in which Chuck Norris shines throughout the movie. The movie fits the 80s perfectly and if you want to watch a movie that reminds you of the era, look no further than this one.
Final Thoughts – An Eye for an Eye is everything you expect from an 80s action film.
