Movie Description Karen McCann's (Sally Field) world is torn apart while driving home one day when she receives a call on her cell phone from her daughter--who is being raped and murdered as she speaks. The murderer--smirking, animalistic Robert Doob (Kiefer Sutherland)--is arrested, but is then released on a technicality. Seeking an outlet for her anger and despair, Karen joins a support group--and then a vigilante organization--becoming increasingly obsessed with bringing her daughter's killer to justice and gaining vengeance at whatever cost. Directed by John Schlesinger (MIDNIGHT COWBOY) and based on the novel by Erika Holzer.

Editorial Reviews "...Fine direction, photography and plotting have rarely been combined so effectively in a serial-killer story....Kiefer Sutherland excels in his juicily repellant role..." Sight and Sound - p.39-40 - Chris Savage King (06/01/1996)
"A high concept plot, a hot-button social issue....Sally Field toplines to good effect....Woodard is a standout..." Variety - Joe Leydon (01/15/1996)
