"Eye of the killer" as it's known here in England on dvd is a truly superb serial killer Thriller.
It said on it's cover that this Thriller is similar to "Seven" & "The 6th Sense" but in my opinion it's way better than both.
Keifer Sutherland truly gives an outstanding performance as a deeply troubled & tortured alcoholic Detective. His magnificent piece of real acting reminded of his other fantastic performance in the Cult Classic "Mirrors" as both Cops are very troubled men.
Here Keifer plays Detective Mickey Hayden, who is on the brink of a breakdown, he's split from his wife, he constantly drinks & smokes way too much & he's angry at the world. A masterclass in acting by Keifer here as he is also dealing with his horrific "Gift" that fact that when he touches the dead body of a serial killer's latest victim's or even a piece of evidence, he gets an energy that makes him see through the killers eyes & see the murder take place. It's a torturers gift that has left him an anxious nervous & emotional wreck & deeply troubled.
These visions are stressing him out so he drinks more to block it out & prefers to work nights & sleep days, it's such a complicated & complex character & you can see that Keifer gave it his all in the magnificent role.
Keifer acts his ass off in a movie that could easily be considered just another low-budget,direct-to-video flick but he creates such weight to the material that the film is a superior & superb serial killer Thriller with a supernatural undertone.
Keifer is sort of psychic & his abilities brings him some friends & some enemies as he goes about trying to solve the serial killer mystery that has recently started up again after a 10 year break!!!
This Mystery is full of suspense & has a twist of Noir & exciting Thriller tone throughout.
The cast are all good in their roles & all gave solid performances, especially Polly Walker.
The music is great & the twists & turns are surprising.
A truly excellent Thriller & one of the best of the genre & has one of the best performances for a Thriller ever with Keifer!!!
Brilliant crime Thriller.
