Review of D-Tox (2002) by Aaron R — 07 Feb 2009
As I hadn't seen Sylvester Stallone in a while, I decided to check out one of his newer films. "Eye See You" is actually one of his more complex, darker roles, and I feel like he did a very good job.
He looks good despite his age, and his anguish at his wife's death is very believable, considering the usually thin acting and plot work that Stallone normally does. That said, the film wastes the talent of some excellent actors like Tom Berenger with skimpy roles and an unrealistic, although interesting, premise.
The film's quick pace also causes the plot to suffer, with very little character development, and once the bodies start piling up, the quality of the movie declines noticably, as it becomes formulaic, predictable, and derivative.
Still, Stallone deserves credit for trying to branch out from his usual roles. It could have been so much more, but sadly, "Eye See You" is only worth a casual weekend viewing, if that.
