I have a wonderful idea for making better movies. It's simple yet brilliant: money back guarantee. It's a tried and true formula. That way Hollywood will stop releasing the same recycled garbage with different wrappings.
A woman named Emma Brody (Madeleine Stowe) was blind since childhood. She got something of her vision back after a corneal operation. The only problem is that now there are these occasional delays with her vision, as in she'll see a person up to a day after they've been in a place. They used some medical mumbo jumbo to explain it, but it's just that: mumbo jumbo. I wasn't put off by that at all, I was actually a bit intrigued, except that it then became hallucinations almost everywhere at any given time whether the person had been there or not.
When a woman was murdered in her building she claimed to have seen the killer the morning after the killing. He appeared clearly to her in one of her hallucinations. The problem is that she can't see correctly except when she's hallucinating. In real time her vision is blurry. Then she kept having hallucinations of just him at various places.
The cop assigned to the case was a cop who had stripped nude to get her attention in the first scene of the movie. Mind you, she was blind at that time. Eventually, the two become involved because there's never been a cop movie in which the cop gets involved with the witness. And getting involved with a blind witness has definitely never been done **ahem! "Jennifer 8" ahem!** Because she was a "witness" and because the two were having sex we knew that she would also be a potential victim of the killer. That she was.
This movie lost what little traction it may have had at the start. Beyond the not-so-fresh plot, Emma Brody was plain annoying. Her voice and her attitude were exasperating. I suppose that's why they gave us a gratuitous boob shot---to make the men more amenable to her character. Who knows, I fast-forwarded through the rote sex scenes anyway. As I said, I should get a refund. I may have only paid $1.99 to watch this movie, but I still want my $1.99 back!
