The Colombian Connection

Through the Eye is incredibly well made. The directing, storytelling, acting, cinematography .... all top-notch! Tom Sizemore delivers another one of his incredibly well paced performances. He is clearly back at the top of his game. Sizemore's acting in this film has all of the subtlety and nuance that marked his rise to stardom in the 90s. It is uplifting as well, after so much turmoil in his personal life, to see him regain his footing as an actor. It is also great to see Sizemore lending his considerable talents to the young director of this film, who did an exemplary job with what I've heard was a shoe-string budget. Although Sizemore's considerable talent and experience are unmistakable, the ensemble cast all hold their own. I highly recommend Through the Eye. Bravo!

I enjoyed "Through The Eye" featuring Bertie Higgins, Tom Sizemore and Robert Thorne very much, although I thought it was a little slow moving in the beginning. Once the action started there was hardly a lull and I stayed riveted to the screen. There was way too much foul language for my taste, but one has to consider the characters portrayed would have used this language in their interactions with each other. Bertie did a fine job in his roll as Captain Mike. Finding yourself caught up in the drug trade and its consequences as portrayed in this action flick is quite a gruesome outcome. I can not wait to see more of Robert Thorne. Loved him on screen! Congrats to Julian...Through The Eye's Director! This movie was filmed and set in Tarpon Springs making it that much more enjoyable for me. Tarpon Springs and the surrounding area fit nicely into the flavor of this movie.

Jack Hooks (Robert Thorne) is an honest cop with a dishonest partner Frank Rossi(Tom Sizemore). When Jack refuses to steal evidence money, Frank sets him up. After serving four years of an eight year sentence, Jack agrees to go undercover for the DEA in order to entrap his old partner and reveal the Colombian connection. The film claims this is a true story that takes place in 1976. It is a crime/action/drama that had a decent plot. There were a lot of scenes that just died from lack of action or decent dialogue. Our lead character Jack, lacked personality. I didn't care if he lived or died. Without colorful characters, the film is a bust. We need guys who need to do more than just look like Willie Nelson. Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity.
