Blind Horizon (2003) Reviews

Even though Val Kilmer is no longer on the A list already for many years, I still have a weak spot for him and I keep watching his flicks when I get the chance. However, pretty often, I really end up watching some major turkeys... This flick is unfortunately a pretty good example. I mean, there was an interesting cast (Val Kilmer, Neve Campbell, Sam Shepard, Amy Smart, Gil Bellows, Giancarlo Esposito, Faye Dunaway) but that's the only really positive thing I can think of. Somehow, the plot did remind me a little bit of The Bourne trilogy expect of course that the directing was really average and that the plot was just preposterous and not in an entertaining way. Basically, it was an average complot theory thriller with some very annoying twists (when will they realize that a twist in itself is just an overused and boring gimmick?!?). To be honest, I thought it was pretty neat to see Neve Campbell (another total has-been by the way) in such a thriller, it’s just too bad that it turned out to be such an underwhelming feature. To conclude, it remains a rather average flick, it is not really worth a look and I hope some day Val Kilmer will make a comeback like Robert Downey Jr. or Mickey Rourke but with such movies, it won't be happening anytime soon and, at this point, it seems to be some wishful thinking...
