Eye for an Eye (1996)

★★★1/2

When her daughter is brutally raped and murdered, Karen McCann and the police suspect it was Robert Doob but when something went wrong with the courts he is set free despite the evidence against him. Enraged with the lack of professionalism by the LAPD, Karen decides to take the law into her own hands and avenge her daughter. Surprisingly there isn’t a lot of action and it’s substituted with Sally Field stalking Sutherland as she tries to map out her revenge. It does a great job holding you in suspense and Kiefer Sutherland does an amazing job playing the creepy, perverted, sadistic pedophile. I actually got chills in one scene.

Midnight Cowboy (1969)

★★★★1/2

After leaving his quiet, small Texas town, a young male prostitute travels to New York in order to make a living off of his newly found career in female pleasure. During his stay in the Big Apple, he partners up with a slightly handicapped con artist in order to survive. However, his friend begins showing signs of a very severe sickness and dreams of Florida more than anything. This was a very powerful, disturbing and heart-wrenching tale taken from the gutters of life. It’s part experimental and part narrative yet it still manages to make you feel for the characters as they try and survive on the streets. Though Voight’s performance is solid, it’s Hoffman that steals the show as Ratso the con man.
