1.0 out of 5 stars the cast is more interesting than the film 6 May 2003
By rich
Format:DVD
This has a great premise, man blinded can with the aid of technology 'see' and soon is on the trail of a murderer but the film isn't as great.

The lead character is not all that sympathetic, seemingly spending all his time spying on unsuspecting women, the women are mostly all treated as objects (some of the victims have little or no audible dialogue) and for a thriller there isn't really all that many thrills.

The pluses for this movie are:
Kirstie Alley as leads sympathetic girlfriend, sadly Alley is wasted.

Star Trek TNG's Marina Sirtis has a brief scene as one of the killer's victims

The late Lana Clarkson makes an appearence as an object of one of the lead's obsessions.

Also the Greek locations are nice.

All in all, I couldn't really recommend this unless you really didn't have anything else to watch.

3.0 out of 5 stars 3 sexy popular actresses before fame--2 topless!! 25 Aug 2003

Where else can you see Kirstie Alley and Marina Sirtis topless in the same film, plus a young Valeria Golino posing in a bikini? Those are the 2 or 3 reasons to collect this film, obviously. However storywise it's definitely a unique concept: a guy goes blind so they hook an Atari chip to his brain to give him sight. Unfortunately, everything looks like Space Invaders to him. I wonder if he's now upgraded to X-box?
The dvd extras are quite good, with a very comprehensive film history of the director, including some outtakes of this film which include even lengthier nudity from Kirstie during her sex scene, some of which had been trimmed for the final print.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good presentation of a bad movie 26 April 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This film is very amateurish and tries to be an erotic thriller, but never gets there because the characters are flat and the dialogue is wretchedly mundane and doesn't cut to the heart. A big problem with this film is that it is so obviously in love with women as objects and not as characters, this is one main problem, lots of naked women and killing with no set-up. The main woman who the lead character cares for is only seen and we never actually hear her speak until the very end, this is very sloppy writing and execution. This film has no momentum because of this bad dialogue, action without meaning, and misuse of female actors for prurient means. The one thing in this film that is interesting is the video game ogglers that the main character gets after he loses his sight. Interesting how the setup for the eyes looks exactly like the walkman that he wore before he went blind, oh well. This film shouldn't have been made, that's all. It's a good study of things not to do in film and a measuring stick of whether your story pans out. As for the DVD release, it's very good. It was release by the director's own personal label through Image and so the picture is as good as it can get and has numerous special features introducing you to the director's work which is just as bad, if not worse that "Blind Date." I think the worst thing about Mastorakis' career is that he had talented people at his disposal on the acting end, but he just couldn't make a good film if his life depended on it. He should have had someone else write his ideas.

2.0 out of 5 stars More blind than anything else. 2 May 2005
By D. Roberts - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I must say that this movie felt like a cross between THE TWILIGHT ZONE and SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.

The plot of the story is very bizarre. First, there is a serial killer on the loose. Second, a man goes blind from a knock on the head. Third, the blind man uses a souped-up walkman that allows him to "see." Fourth, the blind man somehow is able to track down the serial killer.

If you choose to sit through the entire movie, then never mind the summation. However, the whole film comes across like a very long, drawn out joke that has a cheesy punchline. Also, the special effects are absurdly bad (even by 1980s standards).

About the only thing the movie has going for it is a healthy amount of nudity, including a topless scene of STAR TREK's Mirina Sirtis. There is a flash of Kirstie Alley's nipple, but it IS only a flash and it is in the dark. Not enough to justify the cost of the DVD.

If you like to see "B" movies with "A" movie actors, this one might be worth seeing - for curiousity's sake. I have no idea how Kirstie Alley ended up in this one after being in some big-name films. Bottom line with this one: buyer beware.
