Eye of the Beholder

Pros: Ummm, I will get back to you if I think of any
Cons: bad acting, bad story, worse ending, too many loose ends

I think that my husband is seriously considering confiscating my Blockbuster card after watching my latest choice on video. This movie truly stinks and not even the beatiful Ashley Judd can save it.

This movie stars Ashley Judd as Joanna Eris...

Pros: Great cast, nice camerawork
Cons: Bad ending

Eye of the Beholder is one of those movies that builds and builds until you're ready for the big, suprise ending...and it never comes! There was so much potential for some strange angle, so much that it could have had a 6th Sense or a Usual Suspects...

Pros: uh.... k.d. lang was pretty good in it
Cons: no plot, lacking story, pathetic and disappointing

Honestly, I was expecting much more as I watched Eye Of The Beholder last night. I had wanted to see it when it hit the theaters in our area - now I'm very happy I saved my money!

From the previews, I saw that Ewan McGregor played a guy...

Pros: None, not even Ashley Judd can save this disaster
Cons: This is the absolute worst movie I've ever seen in my life

I must have missed something. I watched the whole movie. I didn’t get up and leave to go to the bathroom, I didn’t go to walk the dog, and I sat and watched the entire movie.

There I was, the movie ended, and I was still waiting for a plot...

Pros: interesting study in psychological deviance
Cons: Mind numbing, dark, macabre

Sick, demented, perverted and obsessive behavior runs rampant in Eye of the Beholder. The result is a most disturbing experience. When I began watching this movie, I found that it was mind-numbing. It was slow, dark, sick, with a plot so ...

Pros: It was only 1 hour and 47 minutes long
Cons: Just about everything else

I am so happy that I get to write this epinion!! Why am I happy? Because I just got home from seeing Eye of the Beholder with my wife. And SHE was the one who picked the movie!! Guess who is on the Banned from picking movies list now?!?

...

Pros: I never have to see it again.
Cons: Where should I begin?

I'm pleased to see that this movie opened (and closed) in January. It’s really a joy when you know that the worst movie of the year is already behind you. It gives a solid benchmark for sheer waste. Everything that follows this year will earn the...

Pros: Nice beginning and great idea
Cons: Everything else, the plot, the ending, etc...

What can I say? It looked like a great idea for the movie. I mean you got your high tech detective, the gorgeous yet deadly starring lady and we even have a millionaire. The plot takes various turns, makes attempts to trick you and even has a love story....

Pros: Good acting, beautiful scenery, and beautiful Ashley Judd
Cons: No point to the plot that I could find

What a waste of beautiful photography, great acting, and some decent dialogue. To tell you the truth, I'm getting a little sick of nuts - hallucinations, people who kill without a cause - people who use a "bad" childhood as an excuse for...

Pros: Non Mainstream Hollywood Film. Jason Priestley.
Cons: THE ENDING, plot holes, very incoherent

"Eye Of The Beholder" had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, it disappoints immensely on every possible level. And all blame can be put on to Stephan Elliott, the writer/director. I have a feeling he won't be working again for quite a long...

Pros: Ewan McGregor has a better haircut than he's had in his last three films
Cons: There isn't enough room to list them all

There must have been a fire in the editing booth at Destination Films when director Stephan Elliott was putting the finishing touches on "Eye of the Beholder," because the movie doesn't have an actual ending; it just stops. So, I figured the...

Pros: Ashley Judd develops her character well, at times this story is fascinating
Cons: The movie symbolism lacks depth, Judd and McGregor's characters are unrealistic figures

The Story:

Stephen Wilson (a.k.a. the “Eye”, a.k.a. “Lucky”) has just finished a job, and is walking into his HQ’s at the British Embassy Services. He speaks into a voice-encoded lock on the outside door. The password is...

Pros: Great premise
Cons: Bad acting, premise wasn't followed through, boring, not enough action, no characterization

Ok, I didn't even finish watching this movie, so I haven't a clue as to why I decided to write an epinion about this movie. I probably shouldn't say that, but I did watch over half of it, and I just couldn't take it anymore so I shut it off. I thought...

Pros: Jason Priestley
Cons: slow-moving

You like a break from the "black and white" to linger in the grey areas? You like kind of dark and creepy? A bit of suspense? The occasional soft-spot for the evil villain? "Eye of the Beholder" may be what you're looking for a decent...

Pros: Ashley Judd looks good / The film ended at its first chance, i.e. it didn't drag on too long
Cons: Everything you could possibly imagine / Bad acting, terrible story, poor direction, illogical, etc...

When I hear a lot of bad reviews of a movie, I generally skip it. I work in a video store, and so I can rent whatever I want for free, but I will still skip the movie (recent "hits" such as "Bone Collector" and "Deep Blue...
