Editorial Review:
A brutal serial killer is targeting cops, and detective Jake Malloy is on the warpath. But now the killer is making it personal, and this dedicated agent is twisted in an emotional nightmare. Time is running out, and so are the options as Malloy engages in an extreme game of cat-and-mouse with a killer who won’t be stopped. Sylvester Stallone leads an all-star cast, including Tom Berenger (Training Day), Charles Dutton (A Time to Kill), Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints), Robert Patrick ("The X-Files"), Jeffrey Wright (Shaft) and Kris Kristofferson (Blade II).
Eye See You Reviews:
A well crafted suspense movie, just creepy enough 
2009-12-04 - 3 of 5 stars for the cop-killing psycho suspense movie Eye See You. When I first read the product description I thought that this would be a great movie. Then I put it into the DVD player thinking oh this wasn't going to be good. Well, I watched it and decided it was actually good. So, we have Stallone in the role of a cop trying to track down a cop killer. Early-on the psycho goes after Stallone's family. That pushes his character into serious mental problems for which he needs help at a remote snow-covered group hospital in the middle of nowhere. The hospital specializes in helping cops with problems (drinking, drugs, mind). So rather than spoil it, let's just say this becomes a good creepy suspense movie.
Very interesting settings for the hospital. Well acted. Stallone showed good maturity as an actor by not over-powering te movie or other charaters. Well made suspense movie. Worth watching and I do recommend it.
While Not Great...Much Better Than Expected
2009-05-18 - I'm not sure if they could have come up with a worse title if they tried, but if you can make it past that, then this actually isn't a bad little thriller.
The cast is top notch with Stallone, Tom Berenger, Charles Dutton, Robert Patrick and they even pull Kris Kristofferson and Rance Howard out of mothballs too. It's almost a shame that this cast wasn't given a top notch script to work with.
The basic storyline, which we've all seen before, is that a cop (Stallone) draws the attention of a lunatic. The lunatic decides to come after the cop and his family. Where "Eye See You" gains some originality, is when Stallone is sent to a detox facility in the snowy mountains. A group of cops who are having a tough time dealing with their jobs are gathered together in an old bunker as kind of support group. Of course, one of the cops is an imposter, and is actually the lunatic who has chosen Stallone as his next target.
The snowy bunker set deep in the mountains is a great setting. The bunker with its stark concrete walls and poor lighting add to the atmosphere as well. I think the biggest problem with "Eye See You" (besides that awful title) is that the story moves along too quickly. This type of film works best when it goes at a slower pace, building suspense. "Eye See You" just clicks along so fast, it's almost as if they are afraid to slow things down, and instead of building mystery and tension, they rush right into another murder or action scene. The supporting characters are barely distinguishable, which means that you can't really involve yourself guessing who the killer may be.
I wasn't expecting much, and was nicely surprised by "Eye See You". If you want to pick this up for a 90 minute diversion, you could do much worse, just be sure to keep your expectations low.
PREDICTABLE THRILLER...NOT STALLONE'S FINEST HOUR! 
2009-05-16 - I never heard of this Stallone film before and after watching it, I can see why. The film is very predictable and the excellent cast is way too good for such a dumb movie. The film's running time is just over an hour and a half, but it feels like an eternity. There are just too many better films of this kind to waste your time with this one, but if your a thriller junky or Stallone fan, you'll probably like it more than I did.
Aye, Aye! 
2009-05-13 - I started watching this movie, expecting to dislike it. I was even going to turn it off after five or so minutes. The critics savaged this movie calling it a turkey and worse. Imagine my surprise when I kept watching it! I got hooked. After reading what the critics had said about "Eye See You" I almost feel guilty for liking it.
This is a gripping thriller. It's an underrated movie that I never heard of. Was it ever released in theaters or did it go directly to DVD? In any case, it reminds me of Agatha Cristie's "Ten Little Indians" as everyone starts getting murdered. The premise of "Eye See You" is intriguing--a bunch of cops with emotional problems become stalked by a homicidal maniac in a secluded, snowed-in asylum. I'm not a big Stallone fan but it doesn't matter here. The entire cast is good, regardless of whether you like Stallone. It's unfortunate that this movie was deep-sixed by the critics.

good movie
2009-03-03 - Good thrill movie with good actors. Stallone looks much younger than he was in Rocky 5. No nudity just violents/killings. Most of the story happened at the same complex, low cost production? or they spent most of the money on the cast! The ending can be better though.
