Looking for Eye See You?

Check out the trailer:

So what’s Eye See You all about?

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

Personally, I thought Sylvester Stallone was incredible, but wasn’t too impressed with Charles S. Dutton.
