A brilliant what-if movie
After watching "Caveman" ASIN: 6302658489, to see what life was really like way back then, it is time to speculate on what-if a cave dweller was thawed out in our time. We can not just chose anyone to portray a cave man in today's environment. So we pick an expert that already thinks this way, Brendan Fraser. To balance this we must also find someone to portray the serious scholar that observes and guides him through the intricacies of today's environment from driving to the Seven-Eleven; that person can only be Pauly Shore. Every serious scholar must have a protagonist to anchor the story, hence Sean Astin later to play "Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron" (1995) ASIN: 6303801919

Will the displaced caveman adapt? Will he survive? Is the cheese old and moldy? And more to the point will you survive with out laughing to death?

a must see
it is an fantastic concept for a movie plot. just how much trouble can a frozen man from the past get in? this man is even less refined than tarzan but has a better sense of humour. if your feeling down and want a pick me up this is a must see.

Hysterical!
This is the best movie. I'm a little partial to Pauly being from his home town, but this movie would be a favorite of mine even I wasn't. You will ROLL on the floor, whether you love him or hate him, he and Brendan Fraser and Sean Austin make a great team!

Pauly, what can I say? You ROCK BU-DDY!
Ok, I know I'm very partial to anything with Pauly Shore in it and I am a very devoted fan. But my brother absolutly HATES Pauly an still likes this movie("why are you watching In the Army Now? Encino Man's better")Most of my friends hate Pauly too and yet I still find them laughing as they watch him on my TV. This is one of my fav movies(I love when everyone is dancing at the prom-it rocks!) One last thing- PAULY, I LOVE YOU! gO 2 MY SITE IF YOU LIKE PAULY!

OH MY GOD!
OH MY GOD! Pauly Shore was actually funny............what is this world coming too! This was a great movie. One of my fav.'s. Buy it whenever you get the chance. This movie is so cool. ... Read more

TURN ABOUT IS FAIR PLAY
Justice? Revenge? It's really not that big an issue. Thanks to a gruesomely powerful turn by Kiefer Sutherland as a killer/rapist, the audience cannot help but stand with Sally Field in her quest for justice. Whether this justice comes through our legal system (which is never truly just), or whether it comes at her hands, Kiefer is definitely not an addition to the social world. Director John Schlesinger reinforces this sociopathic person by showing Kiefer pour hot coffee on a stray dog; drive like he owned the road; sneers at Sally and Ed in the courtroom, knowing he will get off.
Sally Field is one of those actresses many people find obnoxious, mainly because of her infamous "You really like me" speech at the Oscars. One cannot deny however her ferocity and dedication in this role. Sutherland of course is perfect, and there's some good support from Joe Mantegna and Beverly D'Angelo. Ed Harris' performance isn't as emotional as I would have liked, but one can understand his understated delivery.
The movie is another DEATH WISH, but it packs a powerful wallop and the rape scenes are truly despicable.

Justice or Revenge
Sally Field plays a mother whose daughter was raped and murdered by a repeat offender played by Keifer Sutherland. She seeks justice through the courts but is devastated and angered that her daughter's killer is scot-free. She goes to a support group for families who lost loved ones. But some members of the group are seeking revenge for those that have killed their loved ones and she decides that vengeance is the way to go. Her daughter's murderer walks the streets while she is in a state of mental anguish and distress. The family is nearly falling apart. What would you do if a criminal walked free for murdering your child? Would you seek revenge or rely on the justice system? That is what the movie questions.

RIGHT ON, REVIEWER GOTSTUFF!
I first saw this movie on television. This is one of the best revenge movies I've seen. Justice is finally done, legally....
just like the guilty rapist and murderer got off legally...
This movie, somehow, gave me emotional release. When I was four years old, a little neighbor boy killed my kitten with a toy metal rake. I saw him from the window, I ran screaming..the kitten was dead. He ran, throwing the rake down the alley. He denied he did it to his parents, to my parents, to me. My kitten was still just as dead, and his parents said he was incapable of doing such a horrible thing. This is how this movie makes you feel, except now substitue a human life for a kitten, and a gloating, smurking murderer for a little boy.
Donald Sutherland portrays to perfection the villain you love to hate. Sally Field, as ever, flawless. I was amazed at how much better I felt after seeing this movie.

Great Movie,Great Acting,Great Script.
Eye For An Eye is one of those films where you know through the whole movie who the killer is but it still surprises you through the whole movie.Sally Field plays a mother who is talking to her daughter on the phone when her daughter explains she has to answer the door.After that we see and hear screaming and a man who you clearly see as Kiefer Sutherland raping and torturing her.The mother now devestated begins to seek revenge on the man when the case goes to trial but is botched by a dumb attorney.
Now the man is walking the streets even though he raped and murdered her daughter.She starts by just spying on the man watching him pick his next target,but when he realizes it things do get sort of ugly.The supporting cast which includes Ed Harris as the husband are characters which aren't even really needed for they could take all of Harris scenes out and wouldn't have to edit any thing else.But the film is a great thriller with great performances by Field and Sutherland.

hard to chew
Sally Field and Ed Harris' daughter is brutally murdered and raped by Kiefer Sutherland(evil) but they dont have a case on him and they let him go and he comes after Sally..the attack scenes are hard to chew..I mean really..but it runs out of steam and we cant truly feel what Field is feeling ...

B Movies never die
If you are into saturation violence, shoddy acting and female killers The Assault is just what you're looking for. Otherwise forget it. Basically the movie involves a woman who has witnessed a murder and is on the run from a bunch of crooks who want to kill her and finds refuge in a half-way house for women. The crooks catch up with the little lady and the killing begins. Lead by Stacie (Stacie Randall) and Toni (Melissa Braselle, who also has part of writing credits) the group of eight women mow down about 80 or 90 of the goons with the loss of only one of their own. The creeps have as much regard for their own lives as the man-eating plants in Day of the Triffids or the zombies in Night of the Living Dead. Randall and Braselle blow them away like clay pigeons. There is one man in the half-way house (Matt McCoy) who entertains a schmaltzy love interest in Randall, but for as charmless and non-contributing as he is, his part would have been best served by a pet house cat. A particularly amusing point is that with all the scum bags the girls gun down, whenever there is a scene outside the house, there isn't a stiff in sight! There ought to at least be an acre of them stacked neck high. Sorry to say there are people who enjoy movies like this, and I unfortunately, am one of them. I fell in love with Melissa Brasselle and am chomping at the bit to see more of her movies. I only hope they're as good as this one ---- OK! ... Read more
