Summary: Eye Saw And Eye Didn't Like
Review: Sylvester Stallone is a coming of age Academy Award nominated Actor/Screenwriter, A legendary Action star, and a Hollywood heavy who has lasted over 25 yearsin the spotlight. His newest feature 'Eye See You', however, is a bad movie.First of all, it lacked any character development. The first scene has Stallone's character Fed Cop Jake Malloy buying a ring for his lovebird. That scene immediately takes you to Malloy with his cop buddies talking about a slasher who is killing cops. Then, one of the buddies gets home and gets killed, then Malloy goes home to his lovebird, and the next morning he gets a call about his buddy's death, he heads to the scene, gets a phonecall from the slasher as he's breaking into his house and killing his lovebird. All in the first 10-15 minutes! Where's the logic? Where the character background? Why is this happening? Nobody knows.
Next, Malloy goes into a deep depression where he turns into an alcoholic and comits suicide. This behaviour ends Malloy up at a detox unit for troubled cops. And here is where the poorly rated fun begins. A snow blizzard hits the area, breaking any contact between the detox unit and the outside world. Malloy is stuck in detox with a dozen other cops and one of them is the slasher. By the end when you find out who the slasher is, you have no idea what brought him there, why he is killing cops, and why he has harrassed Malloy.??? This movie is forgettable. Very poor script at worst. And Sly's acting is nowhere near Rocky status. Just the same old puppy eyed look on his face and the same snarly voice. The worst is where Stallone crys over his lovebird's death, it's more aching for the viewer to watch him overact than it is crying over the lover. That's how bad this movie is! I wonder where has Stallone of 1976 gone? Was it a strike of good luck that turned him into a star? Only the rest of his time will reveal that secret! Eye See You final words: don't See it unless you really feel like watching another Stallone movie. Not recommended D+

Summary: This could have been so much more than it was.
Review: The plot of this film (plot? what plot??) has been elucidated elsewhere, so I won't bore you with a rehash. All I'll say is this: Stallone is capable of so much more. Is he simply not being offered good scripts? Has he been typecast? Is he being shunned by the better screenwriters and directors? Perhaps Stallone made this film just to "keep his name out there". The cast is great, but the screenplay never allows anyone a great speech or action scene. The direction is elementary and uninspired at best. Perhaps Stallone should have insisted on directing this one, or at least utilized his creative abilities to re-write the screenplay. Perhaps he needs to be more assertive with regard to the creative direction of his films? If you are a huge Stallone fan, you might like this. If not, don't waste your time. I am a Stallone fan, and I found this film to be disappointing. Perhaps I'll watch "Copland" again in the near future, just to make myself feel better about an actor who consistently chooses material that fails to really challenge his artistic ability. "Rocky", "Copland" and "First Blood" clearly show he's got talent. Why can't he flex his creative muscles more often?

Summary: Another nail in Stallone career coffin
Review: The whole film is cliche ridden, badly plotted, hopelessly scripted and generally a mess. I have desperately tried to write more about this film but quike frankly its just not worth my time. After recent efforts such as Get Carter and Driven I think its time for Stallone to quit. Its just a shame that the return to form that Copland promised hasn't happened.

Summary: Great flick
Review: There are always the pseudo critics who know more than us -so they say. But, hey, watch this movie to have your own opinion. Stallone makes the movie. I have to agree with one of the other reviewers: there are very few actors out there with his cinematic presence. Don't just rent it, buy the DVD. The atmosphere is good, so is the photography and music, and it does have Sly in it too. Only that alone makes it worthwhile.

Summary: A waste of a good cast
Review: There was absolutely no reason for them to cast Tom Berenger in this. It seemed like an insult to him, having a role that really has no significance in a movie. An extra could have played the part and given it the same feel. Sly didn't have to be in it either. The only reason why anybody watches a Stallone film is so they can watch him kill every one, or at least beat them up. Sly only killed one person in this film. I don't know if the ending was supposed to be a big surprise, but it really didn't matter anyway. It was ridiculous to even think that anybody would go to the d-tox center that they went to as well. Regardless of the fact that Stallone didn't really do a lot of violence to people, the R rating still reflects strong graphic violence/gore and profanity. Eye See You was a half-way entertaining flick that would have had the same effect on the viewers without any famous people in it.

Summary: With All Respect, Sly Deserves a Much Better Film
Review: Things are complicated. Sly's 'latest' film "D-Tox" is actually shot in 1999, and has long been on the shelf. It is more confusing, because it is sometimes referred to as "Eye See You" while in UK, Japan, and many other countries, it is released theatrically as "D-Tox." Why this confusion, as if reflecting the lack of confidence of moviemakers? The fact is, the film is very awful. Let me say hurriedly that I found Sly's acting is not so bad. There are interesting supportsing cast including Tom Berenger, Polly Walker, Robert Patricl, Kris Kristopherson, and Charles S Dutton. But the result is simply bad. The story opens with mildly interesting premise, and it is about a detective Jake (Stallone), chasing the serial killer (who has killed 9 cops already), but cannot still have a clue. The killer is always one step ahead of him, and Jake finds that the next victim is someone who is very close to him. Unable to recover from the shock, he gets drunk until he is sent to an institute for rehabilitaion built in isolated mountaions in Wyoming. Yes, for D-Tox. But the killer somehow stalks Jake there, the patients dead one by one, and to make matters worse, the connection between the place and the outside world is shut down by the heavy snow. Now, Jake is trapped, seeking the criminal among the immates. OK. The story is most incredible, but the fatal mistake is that there is no suspence in the course of the film. First of all, you cannot just tell character A from B, so there's no point of searching for the culprit. Moreover, those characters, trapped in the lonely place, should have been more frightened by the situation, but the reality is they are not. And I don't know what to do when I see in the opening credit that this "killer" calls 911, make a statement (with title sequence a la "Se7en", and conludes with the comment "Thank you for you time." Seriouly. The things go automatically, and when you finally come to know the truth, you are certainly underwhelmed, losing any interest in the story. The acting is overall bland or hammy, and even Polly Walker seems sleepwalking (why is she here?). The only saving grace is Dean Semler's photography that captures the terrifying effect of blizzard.

Summary: Too Bad Stallone Did not do this movie earlier
Review: This is actually a pretty good movie.
It may be the typical "overcome major obstacles in life and rise to the occassion as a hero and get revenge" premise, but it is well done.
I suspect if Stallone had released this movie BEFORE bad movies like DRIVEN and a few that he did lately, it would have been treated more fairly by the distributers and seen a theatre release instead of this direct to video release in the US. It is a shame this movie was overlooked.
Stallone displays more emotion than he usually does in his older acting roles and the storyline does pull you in, though you will probably guess the killer 1/2 to 3/4 of the way into the movie. This is worth a viewing.
I liked it enough to add to my collection.
My wife and I also liked GET CARTER (which was the last Stallone movie we liked at all). Give it a try when you are in a good revenge movie mood.

Summary: *LAUGH*
Review: This is the WORST film you will ever see, and perhaps you should rent it simply to know what the WORST film ever looks. Like. If you have already seen it, I'm so sorry. If not, here is your chance to avoid a lot of serious pain. My favorite part of the "movie" is the beginning, where Stallone is on the phone with the killer and the captain holds up a sign that the police are "two minutes away" from his house. Yet somehow the killer has time to hang up the phone, go attack/kill the wife, hang her body up by a rope attached to the ceiling, then leave...before two minutes are up. That pretty much sets the tone for the rest of this slow film. Another great question...WHY IS THE KILLER STALKING STALLONE? Who knows? Who cares! By the way, ignore any review that gives this film over 1 star. They are just people paid by Columbia-Tristar to up the rating of this movie, because NO RATIONAL HUMAN BEING could like this film.
Rating:
Summary: Not a bad movie, and NOT a direct to video feature at all...
Review: This movie was actually quite enjoyable to watch. I like Stallone and his part alone maybe the movie worth seeing. A lot of people here seem to be calling this a direct to video release, or suggesting it was made without a decent budget behind it. This is not true... If you aren't sure about buying this, rent it first!
