Eye of the Beholder

This movie is weird. It gets a 1, though Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting) gets props for a great performance as the Eye. An intelligence agent who is tracking a strange girl who is believed to be a blackmailer. Soon he realizes she is a savage and seductive killer, and a scared little girl all at the same time.
He becomes obsessed with her and chases her all over the country. The use of technology is pretty good for an earlier film, but on the whole this one stinks it up, and is not worth seeing, although the performances by McGregor and Ashley Judd (Kiss the Girls) are both well done, the plot is just too paper thin.

The whole thing boils down to a weird concept poorly executed, and jus isn’t worth it. Run away. Although there's a brief encounter with Jason Priestly (90210) which is pretty camp.
