5.0 out of 5 stars GO ASK ALICE, September 12, 2004

This review is from: Eye of the Killer (DVD)

EYE OF THE KILLER is one of those unexpected surprises you get when you see a movie on DVD you haven't heard of before. Kiefer Sutherland plays a cop who is heavy on booze and genuinely disinterested in his life. His ex-wife is sleeping with his boss, and he's become cynical about law enforcement. While buying a bottle of whiskey, a young kid comes in and snatches the booze, leading Kiefer on a footchase, and ultimately Kiefer falls through an opening in an abandoned warehouse and takes a pretty nasty fall. Later, the kid who stole the bottle is brutally murdered. It seems also that the fall may have awakened some kind of psychic ability in Sutherland, who can see the crimes happening, but not the killer, only the victim. Whose eyes is Kiefer looking through?
Sutherland, who is finally achieving just critical acclaim in his hit TV series 24, is very good in this movie. Henry Czerny as the psychic Harvey does well; Gary Hudson as Kiefer's boss is appropriately egocentric and a pain the (...); and Polly Walker as Vera, the psychic, does well. The movie maintains a tense pace and moody atmosphere, and there is an interesting twist at the end I didn't see coming. Also, I loved the music over the end credits---eerie and haunting.
A very solid film worth seeing.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this movie!, July 30, 2006

There isn't much to say about it except that it is all around great. Kiefer Sutherland plays a hard cop who has to begin to believe in the paranormal in order to solve a mystery. The acting is cheesey, as are the special effects, but for some reason this is one of my favorite movies. Anyone who likes any of the following should check it out: ghost stories, the x-files/the outer limits, psychic stories, kiefer sutherland.

Now, I have always liked Kiefer Sutherland, but I never sought out his movies. I picked this one up simply because it stuck my fancy. Kiefer Sutherland plays a cop who develops the ability to see the future by touching things. Kind of like Johnny Smith on Stephen King's The Dead Zone. After watching it, I now feel the need to see every movie he's ever made. What a great film! His performance in it was excellent, the plot was suspenseful, what more do you need for a great movie? Check this movie out, it's definitely worth it.
