Remember Ewan McGregor? Scotch geezer with a big willy who was tipped for the top. Did a couple of good films with the Shallow Grave gang then split from the group to go solo. Popped up in Rogue Trader, Phantom Menace, Velvet Goldmine. A brief history of bum performances. Reclaimed some credibility with Nora as Jim Joyce. Surely you remember him.
Well, here he is again as The Eye in Stephan "Priscilla" Elliott's lamentable screen version of Marc Behm's existential private eye novel, providing more evidence that he either a) has an acting range measurable in millimetres or b) should sack his agent.
A lurid, over-filmed galumphing mess, Eye purports to be Rear Window replayed as a road movie. Surveillance expert sees girl kill man, so, obviously, falls in love with her. Pursues her all over the shop until she dies in his arms. The end.
Eye Of The Beholder
