Stallone Goes Straight to Video
Added 9/20/2009
Before the box-office comeback of "Rocky Balboa," Sylvester Stallone's movie career hit rock bottom with this misguided 2002 thriller. Originally titled "D-Tox" for overseas consumption, "Eye See You" bypassed U.S. theaters and landed on the video shelves - a fate "Over the Top" somehow managed to avoid. An excellent cast is wasted in a poorly made slasher-fest that defies credulity. Stallone gives it his best shot as a burned-out FBI agent, but what he saw in this ridiculous script remains anyone's guess.

Great movie!
Added 1/22/2008
I decided to rent it from blockbuster after seeing mixed reviews on amazon about it. This movie is certainly a diamond in a rough Stallone gem. This movie was very well done with alot of well known actors cast. It is considered action, but is more like a suspense thriller. The murders were horrifying and shocking. The movie kept you questioning who could the murderer could be, similar to the movie Clue, but not a comdey of course. I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie. It was a shame it wasn't released in the States. I think it might have done well. I highly recommend this movie, especially to Sylvester Stallone fans.

Though not a masterpiece, a movie worth watching
Added 8/28/2007
D-Tox a.k.a. Eye See You brings to the screen the story of an FBI agent whose fiance is brutally murdered by the very same serial (cop) killer that he's trying to apprehend.
As a result, he lands, along with several other law enforcement agents, in a rehab center in Wyoming in the middle of winter. The initial tranquillity and serenity, however, is not meant to last long...
Sylvester Stallone, Kris Kristofferson, Tom Berenger, and the rest of the cast carry out their performances very well.
In short, the plot, the setting, the acting, the dialogues, and the music are all good.
On the negative side the villain is a long way from home... What's wrong with his own country's cops?
In conclusion, D-Tox is a movie definitely worth watching, as it will surely provide for an evening's entertainment.

One of the better Stallone movies to come along in recent years!
Added 1/1/2007
Not counting Rocky Balboa, which just hit the theaters a week-and-a-half ago, it's been a long time since I've seen Sylvester Stallone in a movie I really enjoyed. The only reason I ordered Eye See You was because the premise of a serial killer hunting down cops seemed so intriguing. I have to admit to not expecting very much from the movie. I figured it would simply be another throw away, but boy was I surprised. I found myself caught up in the film within the first few minutes and then trying to guess whom the killer really was throughout the rest of the movie. While not great, Eye See You is much better than most viewers might think, considering that it was never released theatrically inside the United States.
The movie centers around Stallone playing Jake Malloy, an F.B.I. agent whose fiancé has just been murdered by the serial killer (a brilliant psycho that usually chooses cops as his victims) he's trying to catch. Traumatized by the event, Malloy turns to alcohol as a way of dealing with his inability to save the woman he loved. His close friend and fellow agent, Hendricks (played by Charles Dutton), eventually gets him into a very special rehab center that's geared directly toward cops and their situations. The center is run by an ex-cop (Kris Kristofferson) and is located in an old military facility that's been vacated out in the wilds of Wyoming. As one might guess, there are male cops and female cops, along with white cops, black cops, and Puerto Rican cops, not to mention American cops, British cops, and an old Canadian Royal Mounted Policeman who's played by Robert Prosky. All the police officers have experienced some kind of trauma in their lives and are trying to deal with it in their own unique way, the common denominators being alcohol and drugs. The catch here is that one of the cops is not who he seems to be and before long the group of people begin to drop like flies as they're mysteriously killed off. It doesn't take Jake Malloy long to realize that the man who killed his fiancé is now at the facility, playing a deadly game of cat and mouth with him. Who will live and who will die are the big questions facing Malloy as he gets himself together in an effort to face the killer who changed his life forever.
My actual rating for Eye See You is more like 3 ½ stars, But, since I couldn't put that, I opted for going to four stars because the movie has such an excellent cast (Tom Berenger, Charles Dutton, Courtney Vance, Robert Patrick, Kris Kristofferson, and Robert Prosky) and proved to be a delightful surprise to me after I'd just watched three clunkers in a row. Stallone's role also proved to be more character driven than many of his past ones, giving him an opportunity to display his acting chops. And, believe it or not, Stallone is a decent actor when he has the right material to work with. The movie was filmed entirely in British Columbia as a lot of TV movies are today. The daylight photography is beautiful, but three-fourths of movie is either filmed at night, or inside the cold, stark, lifeless facility. The extras on the DVD include several deleted scenes and interviews with all of the main cast members, except for Sylvester Stallone. I have no idea why Stallone isn't interviewed when it could've been so easily done during the filming of the movie. Still, all in all, Eye See You proved to be a fun experience, and I certainly don't mind adding it to my film collection. Last, but not least, if you really want to see Stallone in top form, go see his newest film, Rocky Balboa. It goes back to the quality and acting of the first "Rocky" movie.
