An Eye for an Eye
13 August 2023
An Eye for an Eye is an action vehicle for Chuck Norris. It has good production values, a hackneyed story that lacks good martial arts action.

Sean Kane (Chuck Norris) is a drug cop in San Francisco. His partner Dave Pierce (Terry Kiser) is burnt to a crisp in drugs bust gone wrong.

Kane leaves the force to track down the drug boss who killed his partner. Only to find Pierce's girlfriend, news reporter Linda (Rosalind Chao) is also killed.

She to was investigating local drug bosses and it seems she got too close.

Kane teams up with Linda's grieving father James (Mako) to find any leads as to just who was responsible for all the deaths.

The film makes good use of San Francisco locations, it has noted character actors with Christopher Lee and Richard Roundtree. Although Lee's presence gives away a big surprise.

It's big failure are the lukewarm action scenes. It very much wastes Norris's martial arts skills.
