Summary: Avoid.
Review: I JUST finished watching this one. I knew how it HAD to end. Too predictable. About half way into the movie I became grateful that I had earned it as a free rental. Not worth the renting price, in my opinion.

Summary: Rent it first...
Review: ... but only if you have a second movie to not ruin the day. I made the mistake and did not read any reviews. Now I feel ashamed to own just another really bad movie. The other movies that I need to hide are: Homefries (being cheap is not a good enough reason to buy a movie), The Omega Code (this one is REALLY bad) and Existenz (read the reviews).

Summary: Eye of the .... who?
Review: We rent a lot of movies and we usually pick the ones that have had gooed reviews ... boy, I wish we had read the reviews for this one before renting it. Can they possibly make a movie more pointless and meaningless than this one ... my guess it no.

Review: I betrayed myself by keeping my buttocks stuck to the couch and my eyes peeled to the screen with hopes that this movie would get better. It just went on and on and on and on and it still didn't have an ending!

Summary: Pointless Confusion
Review: This movie is just so pathetic. Ewan MacGragor follows around Ashley Judd - spying on her & supposedly protecting her (from herself I imagine). I was actually looking forward to watching this movie - I thought it looked pretty interesting. What a mistake. I purchased it & will never watch it again. Judd goes on a sort of man-killing spree while MacGregor watches her from afar. He feels sorry for her because she was abandoned as a child by her father. MacGragor's daughter was taken from him by his wife. But that doesn't stop him from imagining that his daughter is near throughout the entire movie. Her antics are just so annoying. The appearances of his daughter add nothing to the already confusing movie. Jason Priestly plays the small part of a psycho that does get the best of Judd until her "angel" comes to rescue her. All in all I found this movie boring, confusing and pointless. The end is the most pathetic of all. "I wish you love"...indeed

Summary: What a way to start the millennium.
Review: I just happened to notice that *The Eye of the Beholder* is the first movie I've reviewed that was released in 2000. We can only go up from here.

Well, the movie's about a guy who works for some sort of British Secret Service thingy (it's never made clear what Agency it is, only that the Agency is inordinately fond of teleconferencing, which, considering the legions of clever hackers out there, is probably an unwise predilection). The guy stumbles across a really hot serial killer . . . or is she? I mean, later in the film, we're encouraged to forget all those stabbings in favor of developing a concern for her abused psyche. Imagine Hannibal Lecter dropped into *The Prince of Tides*, and you'll get the (preposterous) idea. Back to the Ewan McGregor character: he wears a big red parka and points a shotgun (which is really a camera. Why?) out the window at his lovely moll, in an clear effort to be inconspicuous. Ashley Judd, in the first half, at least has the pleasant diversions of playing Dress-Up with designer clothes and fun wigs (even though she's supposed to be on the lam). Unfortunately for her, though, she winds up as a waitress in a coffee shop in . . . Alaska! (Why?)

Along the way, the screenwriters muck up the "Elektra complex" and other suchlike Freudianisms. At one point, the Beholder and the Beholdee have a conversation during which the former says, "You're a person who lost her father; and I'm a man who lost his daughter." (all together now) Ewwww!

In summation: the filmmakers mistook incomprehensibility for entertainment. Please try again. Or, rather, don't.

Summary: Pointless
Review: This movie is probably the worst storyline I have ever seen. Ewan MacGregor follows Ashley Judd around for months, spying on her & supposedly keeping her safe from harm. He looks into her background - finds out she was abandoned as a child by her father, feels empathy for her - because his wife took off with his daughter. A daughter he imagines seeing throughout the entire movie. There is no real plot, other thank that and the ending is pathetic. "I wish you love", indeed! Do not waste your money or time on this movie.

Summary: What's the Artist Name?
Review: I just viewed "Eye Of The Beholder" saturday May 27,1999.I liked the movie somewhat; but the plot needed more work.I really love the song titled "I Wish You Love". I really would like to know the name of that particular artist.The credits at the end of the movie are so small I couldn't tell who performed it.This song has been performed by many artist, but I really love the way it's sung by this particular artist. I think this song was the best part of the movie. If someone knows the artist's name, please email me at:[e-mail]

Summary: Huh?
Review: This movies STUNK! I mean BAD! I was so bummed. I was really looking forward to seeing it. The trailer was interesting, and I adore Ashley Judd, but this movie is really really bad. It has absolutley no plot and just keeps going and going and going. The only reason I even watched it through to the end was the hope that it might somehow explain itself in the end. Nope! Don't torture yourself, and don't waste you money.
