"She’s a prosecutor. He’s a killer. Together, they become judge and executioner."
In Eye for an Eye, moral lines blur in a gripping thriller that asks: how far would you go when justice system fails? When dedicated prosecutor Maya Chen (Michelle Yeoh) loses her teenage son to a violent hit-and-run, her world shatters. The suspect—a wealthy, untouchable heir—walks free thanks to loopholes and influence.
Consumed by grief and betrayal, Maya forges a secret path: tracking down vigilante Elijah Cross (Mahershala Ali), a shadow operator rumored to deliver his own brand of justice. As they cross paths, she proposes a chilling pact—help her enact revenge, and she’ll use her legal resources to make his past targets pay their dues.
Together, they launch a covert crusade: exposing corrupt officials, planting evidence, and delivering retribution—all while staying one step ahead of law enforcement. But as guilt and obsession deepen, Maya confronts a terrifying truth: When justice becomes personal, the line between hero and monster disappears.
Eye for an Eye is a taut, morally complex journey—and a dark mirror to Se7en and Prisoners. It’s not just about punishment. It’s about the hunger that justice never quite satisfies.
