      When her daughter practicing French correctly says, "Sur la table," Karen "corrects" her, insisting on, "Sur le table." This however is wrong and her daughter had been right the first time.
    • Quotes

      Robert Doob: What are you gonna do? Shoot me?

      Karen McCann: You broke into my house with the intent to do me bodily harm. The law says I have the right to protect myself.

      Robert Doob: What? You want me to say I'm sorry? It could have been anybody. I don't even remember what she looked like. It's nothing personal.

      Karen McCann: She was seventeen years old. She was five-foot two. She had brown eyes. Her name was Julie. She was my daughter.

      Robert Doob: She was a great f-f-f-fuck.

    Gripping
    This movie was very gripping. Karen McCann's (Sally Field) daughter gets brutally murdered, and the legal system is helpless on putting the murderer away. Karen decides to take the law into her own hands to avenge her daughter's killer, and her husband is trying to stop her. Overall if you want to know the ending you will have to watch the movie.
