Watch Eye of the Beholder For Free

Very disappointing...

The Age of Commercialism

Sick Product of a Sick System

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Nobody seemed to have noticed but this is actually a remake of a 1983 French movie called Mortelle Randonee with Michel Serrault and Isabelle Adjani. Unfortunately for Eye of the Beholder that movie is about 100 times better. In Mortelle the "Eye" is a much older man like in the original book and Isabelle Adjani is much better in purveying an emotional detachment when knocking off her suitors.Eye of the Beholder tries to be a stylish movie but what is needed is something that shows a passionate deadly obsession. With all the gimmicks used that is totally absent so we get some interesting scenes with no connection. A wasted opportunity.

what a different premise for a movie,, a tortured young woman going around the world killing random men for no particular reason. Fine acting performances turned in by Ashley Judd, Ewan Mcgregor, and Genieve Bujold. our main character the "eye" has to follow our assassin all the way around the world as she knocks off men one by one. the story goes much deeper, something happened to her when she was very little and now has scarred her for the rest of her life. our "hero" character eye seems to be transfixed with her and seems to me that he starts to empathize with her,, because of his own daughter. but maybe that's just me,, overall I thought that this was a thought provoking thriller, and it's always a treat to watch Ashley Judd.

CAUTION: POSSIBLE SPOILERSLongtime Ewan fan here, and this is one of the few movies of his that I actually did not like when I first saw it. It is EXTREMELY fast paced, and sometimes a bit far-fetched. How does the Eye remove his surveillance equipment so quickly once his subject is suddenly moving on to another life, another name, another identity???!!!In spite of what seem to be flaws, EYE OF THE BEHOLDER is an entrancing, haunting film about two people who don't know each other, but who are connected in ways that can't be imagined or understood until at least halfway thru the film.The Eye, a British surveillance specialist is sent by his boss to investigate the boss's son, who has been withdrawing a lot of cash from the bank. Boss wants to know what sonny is up to. The Eye is a professional, excellent with equipment, superb at watching without being noticed. It's clear he's been a spy for a very long time. That's why the former "farfetched" idea of him being able to pull microphones, knock down cameras, and slither from site to site without being found out turns out to be acceptable. His real name is Stephen Wilson, and his wife and daughter are gone, apparently because his work was more important to him than his family. After they left, The Eye realized what he lost, and when we meet him, he's been a lonely, isolated, damaged man for quite a while.The Eye locks on to the boss's son and discovers that the Embassy Brat has been giving money to a beautiful young woman. She meets the son of the boss at a museum in Washington D.C. and as she is captured by the Eye's camera, The Eye feels like he's seen a ghost. The story, and the obsession begin here. The Eye begins abandoning duty in favor of a sense of loyalty. Indeed it seems definite that The Eye has lost his sense of reason. His obsession with the murderous yet lovely woman grows as he follows her all around the country. Ashley Judd's many wigs and personalities are beautiful as they are astonishing. Do give this clever, suspenseful thriller a try. I think if you focus and follow the film, you will get it. It's a story of complete obsession and how obsession can really drive a person to do things they normally would not do, and how it can change them forever, for good or for bad.

This doesn't even deserve a star. Or even a zero. Or negative infinity. This is by far the worst film I have ever laid eyes on, and Ewan McGregor is one of my favourite actors. This was pedantic, pretentious, pontificating garbage void of a point. The direction is totally absent, the actors flail about on screen without purpose, and what the **** is k.d. lang doing in this???? What a stain on an otherwise brilliant career. If I were involved in the making of this film, I would be ashamed of myself. The only grace in knowing this exists is that one day the world will end and this film will be wiped from existence in the universe. It's THAT bad.
