Derek Malcolm Guardian The film is made with high professionalism, and well acted by its principals.. It is, however, none too believable. Feb 29, 2024 Full Review David Ansen Newsweek Michael Apted's Blink walks a fine line, but if you're willing to accept it on its frankly formulaic terms, it delivers some good jolts. Feb 15, 2018 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: B- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Bob Shelton Birmingham Post It's a clever plot with Stowe generating a lot of tension as she becomes the killer's target but it doesn't quite sustain the impact that would make it an outstanding thriller. Feb 29, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...an interesting premise that's employed to mostly engaging effect... Rated: 3/4 Jan 2, 2021 Full Review Kathi Maio Sojourner That Emma defends herself in the end can provide no real redemption for a character who has been consistently compromised by her creators.

Steve D Disposable thriller that will entertain. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I have mostly home bound due to recovering from the flu. I was feeling restless, so I tried this movie out for size. I gave the movie 3 stars because of Madeline Stowe's strong performance. Aidan Quinn was "over the top" in a role that was poorly scripted for him. However, I must say that the story, and its telling, was suspenseful, and I am glad that I watched it on Netflix streaming rather having paid money to see it in the theaters years ago. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member A decent thriller with a strong acting by Stowe.. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Average film. Above average Madeleine. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review don s A thriller with an interesting concept: the single eyewitness to a murder is recovering from eye surgery that corrected her blindness and can't fully rely on her vision to identify the murderer. Madeleine Stowe is tremendous here. Her husky voice and inherent confidence in herself make her a favorite of mine. She gives just the right amount of vulnerability to this character to make her sympathetic when the character is written as almost completely unlikable. Quinn gives his usual average performance. I enjoyed this. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member another thriller about a blind woman being terrorized like the pic with audrey hepburn 'dont be afraid of the dark' Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
