Summary: Be Warned--The Ending's Awful!
Review: I won't go into the ending on the off chance that somebody reading this review hasn't actually seen the movie yet (and will actually want to see it after seeing all the bad reviews it's got). However, the characterization is a mess, the motivations are hidden, the direction is cruel in the amounts it cuts from the storyline. Ashley Judd and Ewan McGregor both give absolutely great performances (you can almost hear Judd pleading behind the scenes with the director, "Can't I give it a little nuance, a smidgen of depth? Please? No? Okay..."). McGregor is one of my favorites and deserves major kudos for doing such a great job with a thankless script. Still, all their hard work doesn't even *begin* to redeem the time I lost watching this ridiculous film. (And, like many other people, I read the book after watching the film. Don't even try--you'll feel ripped off all over again.)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: what is this
Review: This is one of the most confusing, pointless movies that I have ever seen. Its about some spy that falls in love with a serial killer. When the end came, I was just like "huh? " with a bewildered look on my face. It really makes no rational sence and has little story line. This is not even worth a rental.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: $3.00 Rental, 0 payoff!
Review: This movie just completely ...me off! It started out fine and gained some momentum with its twists and turns but hey, whoever made this waste of film should have realized that if you're going create these twists and turns, you have to straighten them all out nice and neat at the end so the viewer doesn't feel ripped off. It seemed like this film was an inside joke between who made it and himself. Kinda like Tim Burton with Batman. I didn't get it and I don't think anyone else did either. This was the slowest, most boring nonsense I've ever sat through. And yes, I have seen Plan 9 From Outer Space and it blows this one away!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WHAT THE HELL?
Review: It's nothing but walking...left, right, left,...walking...left, right, left...

Is my review boring to read? Well, appreciate it because now you've read the entire script for this thing.

It boils down to this: If you want to see something so infuriatingly tedious and agonizingly boring that you have to turn off the VCR and watch Sesame Street for better character development (and overall plot), by all means, rent this sedative!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 101 minutes wasted
Review: I only have 1,000 words to tell you how bad this is,and thatai'nt enough so i'll be brief. This movie makes flat out NO sense.Ewan Mcgregor(who's horrible)is watching Ashley Judd kill people.Why? I don't know.Why is she killing people? I dont know.What is Jason Priestly doing here? I don't know.Why did I waste my time? I don't know.Why does this movie exist? I DON'T KNOW! Should you(yeah you at the keyboard)waste your time? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting, yet lacking
Review: Eye of the Beholder is about a private investigater who becomes obsessed with a woman serial killer. The premise is good, but we never really understand the motivation of either of the two main characters. Too many questions are left unanswered. A sense of true lonliness and desperation does come through somewhat, but not enough to save this movie. On the plus side the cinematogrophy is good, there's great music, and Ashley Judd wears some great clothes. All in all, though, the movie is unique and worth checking out and forming your own opinions.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Mindless, pointless drivel....
Review: I picked this up thinking that it might be the same caliber of movie as Judd's Double Jeopardy. It's not. Not even close. As the movies crawls along, many character developments, (or lack there of), are glossed over without ever being explained. It gets to the point where you don't know why they are doing what they're doing, nor do you care. Do yourself a favor and let this one sit on the shelf.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very confusing
Review: I am a great Ashley Judd fan, however, I had to read the reviews on this page to figure out what the movie was about. It was very confusing. I'm going to read the book. Maybe I can make heads or tails of it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A surrealistic thriller much better than most of the usuals.
Review: Greatly acted by Ashley Judd and Ewan McGregor, this movie is very hypnotic and pretty well directed ! Some people are going to point it's slowliness and the lack of crystalin clearness in it's plot... but these apparent drawbacks are parts of its originality ! Take this strange trip if you like different movies... The music is excellent !

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: THE WORST FILM!
Review: This is absolutely by far the worse film I have ever watched (endured is more like it).
