Eye See You DVD Review:


The Movie

A brutal serial killer is targeting cops, and detective Jake Malloy (Stallone) is on the path to war. But now the killer is making it personal. This dedicated agent is twisted in an emotional nightmare while time is running out and so are the options. Malloy engages in an extreme game of cat-and-mouse with a killer who can't seem to be stopped.

EYE SEE YOU was originally scheduled to be released back in 1999 under its theatrical title D-TOX, but unfortunately the lack of US response to this film only allowed for an Australia release in 2002. This film was simply weighed down with a poorly developed duplication of the eccentric cop and the bizarre one-dimensional meticulous serial killer.

In it’s own right, the film did keep me interested, right until the end, nevertheless the story-line just couldn’t fulfill its objective since there is no enthusiasm, suspense or excitement.

The Video

EYE SEE YOU appears in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and a full screen presentation of 1.33:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the picture has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions. Columbia has built a status for their excellent transfers, and this one won’t blemish that representation; EYE SEE YOU is another success.

Sharpness appeared virtually flawless and the film looked crisp and well-defined. Print flaws also appeared absent. I saw no evidence of any grain, speckles, grit, or other defects; the film looked clean. Colors were accurate and natural. Black levels appeared deep and rich, with solid a contrast. Shadow detail came across as heavy but never terribly thick. When all's said and done, EYE SEE YOU looked great.

The Audio

The film’s Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack was as strong as its picture. The soundfield provided active audio from all five speakers. Music spread quite nicely to the rears, and general sounds from the environments sounded superb. Dialogue was crisp and well-defined. Overall, EYE SEE YOU presented plenty of depth to its Digital track.

Overall

EYE SEE YOU offers a truly terrific DVD. Too bad the movie lacked in plot. I thought EYE SEE YOU was a fairly weak film that didn’t fully make it to its full potential; this could have been a fantastic film, but the lack of direction and in some cases poor acting sealed it’s own fortune.

The DVD, on the other hand, is splendid. It combines absolutely fantastic picture and sound with a bare minimum of extras. Because I’m not passionate about the movie itself, I can’t recommend this DVD with any enthusiasm, but fans of the film will truly appreciate this splendid DVD presentation.
