Both Viola Davis and Jennifer Lopez deliver very convincing and strong performances as Lila and Eve. They actually are the reason why this movie stands out.

They actually are the reason why this movie stands out. Although the subject going on in the movie sounds very current, it's how entertaining and true the performances look like that take the movie to a next level. After some hiatus and some not so serious roles, Jennifer Lopez shows us again how great she is. The same can be said about Viola who is the heart of this film.… Expand

A standard-issue female vigilante thriller that's skillfully elevated by the performances of leads Viola Davis and Jennifer Lopez.

But the mother, how does she cope? What if she took an aggressive approach to track down the shooter instead of waiting for the police to solve the crime, maybe? An interesting story line, improbable, but possible. Should we do something? Are the drug dealers and gang shooters from another planet? or do they live right in the neighborhood, somebody else's sons, and no one does anything about it?… Expand

While it doesn'tForeseeable thriller, yet there's a hefty amount of personal conviction invested on Lila & Eve. The morality of revenge has been used as theme in many occasions, Kevin Bacon and Jodie Foster have made similar works before. While it doesn't necessarily innovate crime genre, Lila & Eve works by displaying the intimate issue with strong performance. It's a story about two mothers seeking justice, yet ultimately absorbed by the vengeance in an attempt to cope with the overwhelming sadness.

Viola Davis as Lila is easily the best asset of the movie. She's completely believable as the grieving mother, often seen hurt and confused in highly sympathetic manner. She can draw audience interest and even suspense judgment as she dabbles in less savory acts. Since the movie almost entirely revolves around her trial, it's a boon to have a reliable lead.

Jennifer Lopez has a mixed record in acting. There are a couple of good movies when she delivered, but most of the material she worked were mismatches. The most advantage she has is she can appear to be not glamorous, as in Parker and The Boy Next Door. With Viola Davis, the chemistry is definitely present, she appears to be an integral part of Lila's story than just a quest star.

The movie is not without flaws though. It's hampered with a few crude developments. They can be a bit problematic, although not entirely jumping towards one-man-army action theme or overly bloody violence. Furthermore, the plot twist it tries to pull is predictable and it could've been more refined or subtle in its delivery.

Unfortunately, many elements of the movie are notoriously cliché. The vigilante thriller and the chasing cop aspect feel much too familiar. However, Lila & Eve has enough private sentiment to be emotionally engaging even though the cause might not be just.… Expand

Brought to us by Lifetime Films, LILA feels like the kind of film Lifetime never makes anymore but with actors well above par. Viola Davis is truly awesome in every way, delivering a performance that does not depend upon her usual over wrenching weepy. And JLO is pretty perfect, showing what a super actress she can be. The film kind of sucks but I loved it. Full of strange twists and turns. It's not the movie you expect which is what makes it quite wonderful.… Expand

This was a very well done movie, no one was made out to be a hero, they were all too human. JLo should keep doing this kind of movies and show that she can really act.… Expand
