Kiefer Sutherland stars in "Eye of a Killer" or "After Alice" as it is also know.
Sutherland plays Mickey Hayden, a drunken cop who finds he can do psychometry after hitting his head. Ten years prior to the film, a killer known as Jabberwocky was on the loose. Now he's back with his random killings and leaving a playing card at the scene of each murder. Hayden's boss, Hatter (Gary Hudson) assigns him to the case.
The problem for Mickey, besides his drinking, is that he can see the murder taking place but not the killer. He meets a scientist interested in psychic ability (Polly Walker) who tries to help him.
Strange and confusing film with a good performance by Sutherland. Also appearing are Henry Czerny, and Eve Crawford plays the publisher of a newspaper.
The story isn't particularly clear as the script is muddled. It's a shame because it could have been compelling, particularly with all the Alice in Wonderland references which were very clever. Had it not been for Sutherland, I'm not sure this film could even have been made.
