Product Description

From Amazon.com

What do you get when you cross the director of I Know What You Did Last Summer with Sylvester Stallone? You get a slasher film in which the victims are not screaming, scantily clad teens, but parka-clad cops. Whether that's an improvement on the genre is open for debate. With Eye See You (which never hit U.S. theaters but was released internationally as D-Tox), Stallone's career has officially "Van-Dammed." But the role of FBI special agent Jake Malloy is something of a dramatic departure. Unable to catch a cop killer before he nastily dispatches his girlfriend (wouldn't you know; right before Jake was about to propose!), Jake takes to the bottle. He enters a snowbound rehab center for cops housed in the Wyoming mountains. The demons Jake must confront are not just psychological. A killer is stalking the residents one by one. Shallow characterizations and ham-fisted dialogue are good for armchair heckling, but for Stallone fans, this will be of interest as even more of a career curiosity than Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. --Donald Liebenson

4.0 out of 5 stars Actually Not That Bad, Nov 27 2003

By

K-Man - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eye See You (DVD)

I orginally rented this movie at Blockbuster not knowing if it was going to be good or bad. I never heard of this particular movie but I was struck by the amount of stars that were in this which include: Stallone, Kristopherson, and Berenger.

As far as plot goes the serial killing aspect was very original (i.e. the displaying of the bodies at the beginning). Some of the other aspects are typical of the genre, as in Stallone's predictable tragedy.

Stallone does a decent job as Special Agent Jake Malloy with a supporting cast that rises above some of this film's short comings.

All and all. This film left me entertained from beginning to end and I recommend it to anyone who loves the serial killer genre.

Special features include cast interviews and some deleted scenes (which I felt should have been left in).

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Sly's Best!, Mar 29 2004

By

Kent (Iowa United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eye See You (DVD)

I noticed several years ago that Sly was making this moving. Afterwards, though, it passed my mind. I went to the video store one day and saw this title and instantly made the connection that this was originally D-Tox. I was disappointed that it made a straight to DVD appearance. Being a big Sly fan that I am, I would have loved to have seen this in theaters!
Anyways, I picked up the title and was expecting a decent film. But instead I got a great film!
The all-star cast makes this movie entertaining and chalk full of great actors who know how to act! The story itself is original and very suspensefull! Perhaps the best one I have seen to date!
This title is one of the more gruesome Stallone films with people's eyes getting drilled (although you don't actually see it happen but you do see the aftermath) and people getting their throats cut and what have ya. Definately not for the person with a touchy stomach.
All in all a great movie that really deserved a chance in theaters!

(TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Eye See You (DVD)

EYE SEE YOU starts out pretty good, offering us a weird serial killer after cops. Then it goes off its beam a little, including a puzzling scene where Stallone shoots a man hanging, with duct tape over his mouth. Did they think this was the serial killer? Got me. Anyway switch to a remote detox clinic in Wyoming (actually a beautifully filmed British Columbia) run by the lifeless Kris Kristofferson. Here Stallone is joined by a series of cops who are also suffering their personal demons: Robert Patrick is an obnoxious beefed up bore; Robert Prosky brings a little dignity to his role as an aging cop who supposedly deserted his partner who got killed; Sean Patrick Flannery in a brief but intense role as a cop who witnessed an explosion that killed 20+ children; Christopher Fulford as a British cop with a fear of the dark; Courtney B. Vance who spoke so soft I'm not sure what his role was, other than being the "religious one". Jeremy Wright and Ms. Alvarado were wasted in non-dimensional roles. Polly Walker was pretty as Jenny, although her range was limited. Charles S. Dutton played every cop you've ever seen including Dennis Franz. And why Tom Berenger as a handyman? Director Gillepsie did everything he could to point the murder finger at Berenger.
So what's good? Stallone, amazingly, does a pretty convincing job, a low-key but intense portrayal. The cinematography is gorgeous, giving the winter scenery both a breathtaking beauty and an ominous evil. And the finale is very well executed.
So overall, you could do worse....it's entertaining most of the time.
