The leads are wonderful actors doing their best with what they were given.

Easily the finest piece of cinema to come out of the 90s. Jason Priestly as a bad boy is absolutely brilliant, not hammy at all, and completely believable. Ewan McGregor's best work since Train Spotting and not at all awkward or weird, and Ashley Judd was simply incredible.. Her best scene in the entire movie was when she got K'd the F out. I actually half wonder if he made contact in that punch, irl, and whether it was the first scene shot, it might then explain her exceedingly peculiar performance, and even more peculiar crying the entire film. KD Lang's staunch heterosexuality was on display and then some. It bordered on toxic masculinity, and whatever the next notch up on that totem pole is. Definitely a must see.. 5/5 would never watch it a second time. 10/5 I wish my eyes didn't sting so bad from the bleach I had to pour in them whilst watching this cinematic marvel.

Maybe the worst movie made this century. Too many plot holes to mention. Terribly directed and spliced together. Ashley Judd was never a threat to win any acting awards, and this may be her at her worst. This movie would rank badly as an after-school special made in the 80's.

A movie that had so many interesting ideas and concepts, but when you combine 6 different ideas into one movie you will ultimately get a bloated mess of a film.

Unlikable and just plain dumb. Nothing the cast can do with this mess.

Based on Marc Behm's novel and a remake of Claude Miller's 1983 French thriller Deadly Circuit, this Stephan Elliot-directed (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert) was originally optioned by producer Philip Yordan (yes, I can get a Night Train to Terror mention in for every movie) for Charlton Heston, but it took decades to be made in America. Stephen Wilson (Ewan McGregor) is known as The Eye, a surveillance expert called in to track down the son of his wealthy boss. However, that man is killed by serial killer Joanna Eris (Ashley Judd) as Stephen watches. Years ago, his daughter disappeared and he sees her as the grown version of her, so he keeps trying to rescue her. Going rogue, Stephen keeps following Eris, even after she is due to be married to a rich blind man named Alexander Leonard (Patrick Bergin) and gives up killing men. So why does he shoot her tires out and cause his death? Why does he save her from Gary (Jason Priestley), who has beaten Eris into oblivion and is preparing to assault her? Why does he follow her all over the country? How muchy of what Stephen sees is even real? Does Hildary (k.d. lang) even exist? Is this a cyberpunk movie (yes, it has dystopian tech, British accents and a rock star in it)? And how about the scenes shot in Pittsburgh? What a mess. I kind of want to watch it a third time to see if I can make any more sense of it.

How could any sane producer put up any money for this garbage? This movie had no enduring qualities at all.

This is in my top 5 of the worst movies ever. Confusing plot, muddy character development, slow-moving in places, and atrocious ending. Had some good actors in it which were totally wasted, as was the hour and 49 minutes I'll never get back from watching this catastrophe. Ugh.

Completely not understandable from beginning to end

This movie is unlikeable in every possible way--the characters, the story, the pretentiousness, the artifice, the amorality. Just a total loser. If you're not already sick and tired of Ashley Judd, you will be if you sit through this one.

A waste of talent. Ridiculous plot, premise, and execution by director. There are better ways to waste 100 minutes.

As in many thriller / murder action movies, motivation or reason, cause is lacking. First, why does Eris kill her boyfriend out of the blue? She's not a hardened criminal, so why? And McGregor's character, who's lost his wife and daughter, why has he gone to such extremes in his actions? As per usual, we're just supposed to accept thwir actions. Bot a bad film, but i never found anything that interesting in the story

Forced segues, selective amnesia of the female character, lack of the main character getting caught in just about every scene, to end with selective amnesia momentarily restored and resulting in a last inexplicable (attempt) at murder. Oh, and really hard to follow. A pure waste of time (and a waste of a talented cast).

Its very strange but good actors and I like it

its a very good movie, just a different style, enjoy without expectations and youll see

If I could give it zero stars I would. Almost walked out when I say it. Every left the theater looking at each other asking what the hell was that?

There are a lot of pretty (and some not-so-pretty) images of A Judd which prevents this from being a total waste of time. But the fact is that the plot is nigh onto incomprehensible.

Dated and confusing; even by 90s tech thriller standards this is ridiculous. I just felt bad for Ewan McGregor the whole time for having to recite dialogue this terrible. A few laughably bad moments, but otherwise nothing of worth is salvageable from Eye of the Beholder.

Strange movie but I really liked it. :)

An intelligence officer tracks a woman who is suspected of blackmail and becomes obessessed with her when he discovers more. A very good performance by Ashley Judd keeps ones attention, but as a whole it just doesn't gel.
