When did grief counseling become an occupation, anyway? Whenever a demented loner opens fire at a school, grief counselors are platooned in. Just what a kid needs when his schoolmates have been murdered: A session with a stranger who wants to talk about how he feels. Perhaps grief is better dealt with among people one knows and trusts.

The new thriller IN/SIGHT tells the story of Kaitlyn (Natalie Zea), an ER nurse who, while trying to save a woman named Allison who’s been stabbed, is electrocuted by a backfiring defibrillator. When she awakens, she begins to experience the now-dead victim’s memories and sets out to find her murderer. She becomes involved with the victim’s associates, including her psychiatrist, in an attempt to solve the mystery. Sean Patrick Flanery plays Detective Peter Rafferty, the cop on the case who she naturally falls in love with but it turns out Kaitlyn has her own problems including a mysterious bedridden mother and since no one will believe her story, she begins to doubt her own sanity.
Seen in the right frame of mind with suitably low expectations, this type of low-budget exploitation thriller can offer the opportunity for guilty fun. Bad acting, bare flesh, lots of screams, and copious quantities of fake blood usually contribute to the overall effect. Unfortunately, all IN/SIGHT offers is the bad acting. The filmmakers, in going for a PG-13 rating, have neutered the production, reducing it from a potentially high-camp romp into a tedious, boring waste of time. There are no exploitation elements at all and I kept wondering who the target audience was supposed to be.
With its absence of violence or nudity perhaps the producers are trying to sell this to television but most network shows are more graphic than this. If it wasn’t for one uttered F-word, it wouldn’t even earn the PG-13! IN/SIGHT is meant to be a suspenseful, sexy, contemporary film noir with twists aplenty but the movie plods along, accomplishing nothing and offering little to keep the viewer’s attention. This film’s idea of a suspenseful scene is to have Kaitlyn suspect that her invalid mother has vanished from her bed, then turn around and…..there she is! Like so many lame mysteries, IN/SIGHT sets up its suspects so obviously (the obsessive boyfriend, the shady shrink, the crazy neighbor) that the plot becomes a waiting game. Great, except that we’re the ones who are waiting!
IN/SIGHT is a clunky, talk-heavy thriller with nothing to break the tedium – no characters with more than one dimension, no coherent storyline, and no spice. Kaitlyn talks (and talks and talks) to Rafferty about her dreams and her past and her suspicions while he does little to help except to furrow his brow and constantly rub his temples. Perhaps he’s more focused on getting her in bed, which he eventually does in a love scene so sanitized it could play on a daytime soap. A supporting cast of familiar faces shows up for a quick paycheck. Christopher Lloyd (as “Shep Hagen” !) plays the gruff creepy neighbor who mistakes Kaitlyn for Alison when he first sees her.

Lloyd is fun to watch for about a minute then you go back to being bored. Better is Veronica Cartwright as the sick Mom but man, when did Lambert get so old!? Natalie Zea makes for an attractive but bland lead whose acting looks like she’s trying to make a sandwich selection – and that’s when she’s emoting ! The musical score and tech credits seem pulled from every current TV drama yet the screenplay ignores the most basic investigative techniques learned from any primetime procedural. IN/SIGHT is not only soulless, but devoid of any energy. This film is unable to involve, entertain, or titillate. There’s nothing to recommend in the movie, which I would probably turn off after about 30 seconds if I stumbled across it during a late night cable channel surfing expedition.
The overview above is a woeful misrepresentation of what Blow-Up is really about. Films that contain a plot - even if that plot takes up no more than 30 minutes of a film's 111 runtime - are typically noted for that plot. It's in our nature. "What's this about?" is usually more a question about events than mood, but in the case of Blow-Up, asking that question is missing the point. To View The Full HD : free movies online for free
