Blind Man / À l'aveugle (2012)
Action | Thriller
PARIS — A world-weary cop tracks a ruthless, visually handicapped killer in Blind Man (A l’aveugle), the latest serving of B-sized schmaltz from producer Luc Besson and his Paris-based mini-major EuropaCorp. Directed by Xavier Palud (Them, The Eye) and written by genre junky Eric Besnard (Babylon A.D.), the film has all the ingredients for a gripping thriller, yet winds up being a certified yawner with hardly enough action or suspense to sustain itself for the long run. Mediocre local numbers should be followed by ancillary excursions in select territories.
Starring: Jacques Gamblin, Lambert Wilson

The Eye (2008)
Drama | Horror | Thriller
Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) is an accomplished, independent, Los Angeles-based concert violinist. She is also blind, and has been so since a childhood tragedy. As our story opens, Sydney undergoes a double corneal transplant, a surgery she has waited her whole life to have, and her sight is restored. After the surgery, neural ophthalmologist Dr. Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola) helps Sydney with the difficult adjustment, and with the support of her older sister Helen (Parker Posey), Sydney learns to see again. But Sydney's happiness is short- lived as unexplainable shadowy and frightening images start to haunt her. Are they a passing aftermath of her surgery, Sydney's mind adjusting to sight, a product of her imagination, or something horrifyingly real? As Sydney's family and friends begin to doubt her sanity, Sydney is soon convinced that her anonymous eye donor has somehow opened the door to a terrifying world only she can now see. Based on the Hong Kong film Jian Gui.
