Simply A Masterpiece
One of my all time favorites.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Found this film to be quite enjoyable, considering it dealt with the spirit world and spirits that need a place called home. There is a serial killer loose and Andrew McCarthy,(Michael Lewis),"The Orphan King",'05, gets himself involved with the restoring of a very old Mansion and opens up boxes which contain all kinds of problems he has to face. Michael eventually gets assistance from Detective Pryce,(Amanda Redman),"Sexy Beast",2000, who resents Michael and thinks he is nuts and needs a shrink to solve his vision problems. If you like tales about the supernatural and spirit world this is a good film for you.
I think the movie is a nice come-back for Andrew... I've recently seen Kingdom Hospital, and I really liked his performance. He was the right person for the character of Dr. Hook there. The same in this movie.....I think he has come a long way from being a "bratpack"-member. Though he's still cute to look at. But more serious in acting The Sight is a very watchable movie....with not quite the ending you expect. You think you figured out who did it, but.....no-no. The movie (to me, at least) has a little of the kingdom-atmosphere. I think it's worth watching, and I 'm looking forward to Andrews next movie. Maybe The sight 2????? not a bad idea. Enjoy
"The Sight" turned out to be a delight! It was a suspense movie about a serial killer...with a supernatural twist. The protagonist helps find the killer by utilizing his "sight", given to him by a dying woman. He has the ability to communicate with the dead. What better way to find out who the killer is than to talk to his victims?This movie was entertaining throughout the entire duration (which was only 90 minutes). The acting was superb, the entire movie was fast-paced, and the plot played with my mind and kept me at the edge of my seat. The last fifteen minutes left me saying "holy sh!t" , while the clever comic relief left me giggling. One of the best surprise endings I've seen, aside from "The Sixth Sense" and "The Others". I am extremely picky about the types of movies I enjoy...and this one was great. Don't let the fact that it was made for TV scare you off...it's better than most Hollywood blockbusters.
I watched this film by accident really, because I had never heard of it and am usually a little sceptical about tv films. As it turned out, I'm glad I gave it a chance. It has a good story, good actors and interesting cinematography (especially the lighting - blue is my favourite colour!). I didn't quite get the Alice in Wonderland references though... Unfortunately I missed the first fifteen minutes, which may explain why I didn't understand the rather cosmic last scene... I was hoping the sequel or maybe the series would tell me, but it so happens neither have ever been made. A shame really, because it's a very promising film. And surprisingly good for a "mere" tv production.
