An Eye for an Eye SeptemCharlotte's Intersections Blog Christian nation, religious persecution, Robert Jeffress, turn the other cheek Charlotte Vaughan Coyle Journalist Elizabeth Bruenig traveled to my own state of Texas last spring in order to talk to some of the Trump supporters who live here in God’s Country. A cartel boss is released from prison and unknowingly put in the care of a vengeful nurse, whose life was tragically impacted by the drug lord. Travolta goes beyond “world-weary” to give an almost vegetative performance as Carson Phillips, a PI in the poker-playing, bourbon-drinking tradition. It’s a film with no energy, not much pace and few signs of life. The web of interlinked crimes he unravels barely makes any sense and there are some epically pointless plot twists – one left me so baffled that I wondered if I might’ve momentarily nodded off and missed a scene. It's intense, suspenseful, intriguing and brutal.


It has a stellar cast who all give excellent performances especially from the four leads Sally Field, Kiefer Sutherland, Ed Harris and Joe Mantegna. J ohn Travolta stars in this ridiculous and mostly boring hardboiled thriller (AKA The Poison Rose), playing a private detective investigating the disappearance of a woman from a psychiatric hospital. Eye for an Eye is a superb thriller expertly directed by the great John Schlesinger who did the equally great Marathon Man and Pacific Heights.
