I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
View MoreThe core of this movie is so ridiculous. hostages are not afraid and act super normal . and the EYE thing is most ridicules part of this movie!
View MoreI originally hated his movie. Seriously. I thought this was going to be yet another Saw rip-off. And the acting, dialogue, and direction was so horrible, I barely got through the first 30 minutes. HOWEVER, there is a twist to the ending that shocked the hell out of me. It was so good that it made my original contention make perfect sense, and for that, I am impressed. Didn't see that coming. I'm trying not to give too much away here, but I'll say this, stick this out to the end. Trust me, it will all make sense.Even the "government program" thing solves my only contention (illegal detention).Great movie with a nice twist ending here. Recommended.6/10
View MoreAbout six minutes before the end Nicholas Turturo's character says something like "I have hired these fine actors here..." That is the overstatement of the day, in my opinion. Now, I don't think the actors are dilettantes per se. They do seem very unmotivated in the sense that they all just act each one his or her own part. Isolated, no chemistry between them. The film plays in one room only, the filming however may well have happened at each actors home, and afterwards cut together. I'm not sure about the plot, is has been done before, nothing even close to "Saw", but anyway. If you plan on going to acting school, maybe you should watch it, if only to ask the right questions in class about how to avoid bad acting. Or maybe, for the same reason (acting school attendance) you might want to skip on this film.
View MoreThe Eyes is a very good suspense thriller film shot at one location only (almost)yet enticed its viewers by emotionally captivating them with the backstories of the characters and of course, with its deceitful plot. Aside from the good plot, it also has a good music and cinematography. If you have a penchant for mind-blowing movies, this movie is definitely for you. Go check it out at Redbox.
