Critic Reviews

Staff (Not Credited)

An Eye for an Eye is an effective martial arts actioner vehicle for Chuck Norris. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Norris, the Great White Hope of the Hollywood martial arts movie, beefcakes his way through an Oriental Connection drug ring with a bullet-proof spiritual aura and a dated fantasy line in abode, wardrobe and transportation. Read full review

Gary Arnold

Although he brings a certain muscular prowess to the screen, Norris is grievously deficient of charm and humor. [11 Aug 1981, p.C8]

Janet Maslin

As martial-arts movies go, it's pretty tame. As movies of any other sort go, tame is putting it nicely. Read full review
