First, I have not seen the movie all the way through, but what I watched I liked. I am a bartender so I work late. I came home to find it on the television. So, I got on IMDb to find out what movie it was and low and behold, this is it. I was reading the summary and I don't know if this counts for much, but someone wrote that she was a cellist. Sadly, whomever that was needs to visit a music class because the violin is a far thing from the cello. But to continue, from what I watched, I was caught up in this movie. Someone commented that this was not a "thriller" but it definitely was for me. I am a woman and live alone with a dog and from the time she hears the noise upstairs to the next morning, when she has the flashback of the man in her apartment, well, it really scared the crap out of me. I normally don't get scared at movies but this one definitely got my heart rate up and I could hardly get to sleep. So, I will be heading to Blockbuster, when I can find someone to spend the night, to finish watching this thriller, even if it is so only to me.

Madeline Stowe of "The Last of the Mohicans" fame stars in BLINK as a feisty musician who undergoes a new type of eye surgery to restore her vision, lost in childhood at the hands of an abusive mom. As her vision slowly returns, she runs afoul of a killer who is convinced she has gotten a good look at him, and is now after her. She tells the cops, who not surprisingly laugh at her. The irony is, she only sees the killer in a sort of surreal way, with the camera serving as Stowe's vision and showing us what amounts to little more than phantasms. She also suffers from mental time gaps with her returning vision. Stowe ends up falling for burly cop Aidan Quinn, who decides she's telling the truth and protects her. There's a nice trick at the very end involving the killer. Suspenseful and stylish for its time, with a thoughtful performance by Stowe.

Committed playing to the gallery from some standard 90s favourites, but not enough to save this film. I was rather hoodwinked by the trailer which looked good. In fact the movie is a thin, generic thriller with an afterthought subplot of an affair.Aidan Quinn gets some good buddy support but that cop ensemble doesn't reach beyond its precinct. Quinn and Stowe are perfectly capable of making something of their scenes but said scenes are too closely proscribed and might as well have been played by body doubles. And those who can't see the twist coming should invest in the featured surgery. 3/10

..irrational, illogical behavior (running away from your police escort while being stalked by a killer ring a bell, anyone?-) and general foolishness. I first thought I'd not watch this but then I read a positive comment on the movie here on IMDb which claimed that though this might mostly be a pretty average movie there also was something special about it. Well, to me this felt pretty much the usual cannon fodder.I think this could have been a decent movie. The basic plot is OK. However, they didn't make it so, but instead so-so, so towards the end of the movie the only thing that kept me watching this was that I wanted to see how badly it would stall, hoping that that it would get bad enough to be actually funny. It didn't. Instead it had some filler arguments which I particularly hate in a movie (you know those scenes where two or more previously rationally behaving people suddenly start behaving like they have PMS).Not good enough to enjoy and not really bad enough to be campy. IMO a waste of time.My voting history should be available here:http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=10127200
