TITLE |
Eye
of the Beholder (1999) |
|
NOTES |
A woman
(Judd) goes around picking up men and killing them. |
|
McGregor
plays a British secret service agent who follows |
|
her about
beyond the call of duty. K.D. Lang is his handler. |
|
The woman
picks a blind guy, Alex, at an air terminal and he |
|
appears
destined for the chop. But she stays with the blind |
|
guy who is
very rich and asks him to marry her "because you |
|
can't see
who I really am." |
|
As they
drive away to get married McGregor shoots at their |
|
car causing
it to crash and Alex is killed. |
|
The
significance of the blind guy is lost in the shallowness of
|
|
This is a
rather weird film with some odd and old fashioned |
|
spying
equipment. And it is further complicated by the |
|
appearances
of McGregor's daughter, visible only to him. The |
|
story is
elliptically told and the director keeps the perspective |
|
unbalanced
so we often not sure what we are seeing. |
|
For me the
film was worth watching because of the two main leads plus the
nice cameo from Lang. |
|
Apparently
the film is a re-make of Mortelle Randonnée. |
