"EYE SEE YOU"

Stallone has had somewhat of a minor career resurgence in the past couple years with "Rocky Balboa", "Rambo" and the upcoming "The Expendables". Before that he was undoubtably one of the biggest action stars of all time, but lets not forget what was going on during the dark ages of Stallone's career. "Eye See You" or better known as "D-Tox" in most countries was at the pinnacle of Stallone's low period. Most of you probably forgot about this movie, or better yet, never heard of it. Maybe that is because it followed the not so hot "Get Carter" and "Driven" and was made right before he started working on such stellar projects known as "Avenging Angelo" and "Spy Kids 3-D".

Just like recently reviewed "Whiteout", this film takes place in the cold and there is a mysterious killer, with a little backstory involving a troubled cop. And although "Whiteout" was based off an original graphic novel, I believe the film adaptation rips off "Eye See You" in some small aspects. But mostly i'd say "Eye See You" is "The Thing" meets "Seven" minus the monsters but still having all the ice. I have to say I'd place this movie in the flawed but under appreciated category. The best thing this movie has going for it is the cast. The acting, especially by Stallone is far above average and you have a whole slew of actors to notice to go along with him. Dina Meyer "Starship Troopers", Robert Patrick "T2" & "X-Files", Kris Kristofferson "Blade", Charles Dutton "Alien3", Tom Berenger "Sniper" & "Platoon", Stephen Lang "Avatar" are just some of the major players in this film. As you can tell it has no shortage of B-movie greats. If you are a Stallone fan, or a late night B grade mystery fan, then this is probably a quality check for you.
