'Eye of The Killer' (2000) – Paul Marcus.
After a sinister serial killer shockingly breaks his ten-year hiatus, dour, misanthropic maverick detective Mickey Hayden (Kiefer Sutherland) does his boozy best to discover the identity of this evil, psychopathic killer. It must be a notable moment in an actor's working life when they play their very first psychically-inclined detective. It's the trope all too few care to talk about, but it's nothing to be ashamed of, big guy, you're amongst friends here! Kiefer's 'I see dead people' acting is really rather good in Eye of The Killer. For a quality mainstream actor he has made many notable cult movies, this isn't one of them, but his performance is. Just watch handsomely grizzled lush Kiefer, block out everyone else, and then, perhaps, yes, his dipso psychometric cop is a cult!!?? Booze always looks way cooler in glossy fillums than it is in reality. I must just reiterate, majestically moody Kiefer's pronounced psychometric reactions are textbook.
