Review of Cat's Eye

Cat's Eye (1985)
7/10
Feral cat tales
12 January 2016
Three tales all connected with a feral cat who's tough and plucky are what makes up Cat's Eye. The cat has a mission, to get to young Drew Barrymore and save her from an evil troll who hides in her wall.

The first story involves James Woods and Alan King with Woods trying to quit smoking and King the head of a therapy group that has some really draconian methods to quit smoking. The cat is used as an object lesson and is tortured. As a cat lover I didn't care for it.

But the cat escapes and is next seen in Atlantic City where gangster Kenneth McMillan is going to use some torture himself on tennis bum Robert Hays who's been seeing McMillan's wife on the side. This is not a story for acraphobics of which I'm one.

But the last tale makes up for the other two as this plucky cat arrives in Wilmington, North Carolina and is taken in by Drew Barrymore's family. Too bad the cat could not speak lest he could have warned Drew's parents about what lies ahead for their child.

As a cat lover I love cat heroes so this inbalanced movie saved the best by far for last.
