Alicia I love this movie so much
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
ThiefHott Too much of everything
Steineded How sad is this?
blanche-2 Kiefer Sutherland stars in "Eye of a Killer" or "After Alice" as it is also know.Sutherland plays Mickey Hayden, a drunken cop who finds he can do psychometry after hitting his head. Ten years prior to the film, a killer known as Jabberwocky was on the loose. Now he's back with his random killings and leaving a playing card at the scene of each murder. Hayden's boss, Hatter (Gary Hudson) assigns him to the case. The problem for Mickey, besides his drinking, is that he can see the murder taking place but not the killer. He meets a scientist interested in psychic ability (Polly Walker) who tries to help him.Strange and confusing film with a good performance by Sutherland. Also appearing are Henry Czerny, and Eve Crawford plays the publisher of a newspaper.The story isn't particularly clear as the script is muddled. It's a shame because it could have been compelling, particularly with all the Alice in Wonderland references which were very clever. Had it not been for Sutherland, I'm not sure this film could even have been made.
carrie100 I thought this film was excellent, quirky and different to the usual run of the mill 'disengaged cop catching serial killer' film. Kiefer Sutherland was brilliant as usual - I really don't think I have seen anything that he has done where he has not acted brilliantly. The dialogue was funny at times lightening the mood, and the plot engaging. Thanks to other reviewers for showing the link with Alice in Wonderland - I hadn't picked up on those. I would recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of Kiefer Sutherlands (as I am) and to anyone who wants to watch an entertaining film for a couple of hours. It was a shame that it wasn't released at the cinemas for a wider audience.
Sheena People watch movies for a variety of different reasons. This movie didn't have the big budget, there's no special effects, no car chases and there's no explosions. Actually reality doesn't have much of these either. At least not in my life. This is a very real movie about very real people, none of them perfect in any way but together they are put into a situation where they learn to explore and accept what is different and that in turn makes order out of chaos. I am not prepared to limit the possibility of parapsychology, since I'm neither an expert nor use the full extent of my own brain.So watch this movie for the characters. It is brim-full of a whole cast of wonderful quirky folk. Within the first three minutes Kiefer Sutherland enacts Detective Michael Hayden's life superbly and he keeps developing the character throughout the movie. Excellent acting, very believable. Henry Czerny could not have been cast better and the rapport between his 'Harvey' and Kiefer's 'Mickey' enhances the oppositeness of their characters.I thoroughly enjoyed the cranky landlady, 'Mrs Ramsay', I'm sure she and my mother-in-law are good friends!!!There's a host more of these wonderful characters but space is limited here so watch the movie and enjoy them.
smcl I don't watch PSI factor or any other tv science fiction series because they are either too badly written or over the top and really gross you out. But I do enjoy "psychic" movies. Kiefer Sutherland's performance was top-notch. He actually raised the calibre of the material with his excellent delivery of occasionally awkward or mundane lines. His professionalism is admirable. He refused to give a bad performance. The other psychic, Harvey, was a hoot and equally well played.I agree with Len Butz that this is a subtle movie and I thank him for his insight re Alice In Wonderland. I liked this movie very much. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys watching fine performances, where an actor is given rough materials and actually improves the work by virtue of his own presence in the movie. He is doing an equally incredible job in his tv series 24, and certainly deserved his Golden Globe. If you don't go in expecting an Elm Street slasher, you will enjoy this movie.
