Review of Take My Eyes

Take My Eyes (2003)
6/10
Predictable Rehash
26 December 2012
A woman is caught in a violent relationship with her husband. While it's not a bad film, it is nothing more than a rehash of what is well documented about abusive relationships. The plot and characters are quite predictable, making for less than compelling viewing. Although she's not given much to work with, Marull is mostly effective as the victim. However, little insight is provided as to why she behaves the way she does. Another problem is the one-dimensional portrayal of the husband. From the beginning he is presented as a monster without a single redeeming quality. He is so purely evil that it is hard to believe that he would even go to therapy to try to get help.
