Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
This blatant button-pusher plays upon our most primal emotions as well as the increasing disdain for the criminal justice system.
A B movie that somehow won the lottery and got an A-movie cast and director.
Never in his varied career has Mr. Schlesinger made a film as mean-spirited and empty as this.
Dumb dips from oppressive to offensive in this Sally Field suspense drama, which actually comes out for vigilantism.
