From the liner notes

The Eye (Ewan McGregor) is an intelligence agent whose current assignment is to track Joanna Eris (Ashley Judd), a woman suspected of blackmailing a senior government official. But the Eye soon learns that Eris is far more than a blackmailer. She is a seductive, shadowy master of disguise who is a frenzied murderer whose rage is as fierce as her beauty. As he follows her, he becomes fascinated with what he sees. Soon his surveillance becomes a deadly obsession. The closer he gets, the more intense the danger becomes. To catch her would be to lose her, so the odyssey continues until they find themselves on a perilous crash course.

Review

A film so bad it will bring a greater appreciation of grade–B, direct–to–video thrillers, Eye of the Beholder takes a ludicrous story and then makes it totally incomprehensible with flashy camerawork, weird editing and weirder plot developments. A comatose Ewan McGregor plays a British intelligence officer (named "The Eye"!) haunted by his wife and daughter leaving him. While on assignment, he witnesses a woman (Ashley Judd) kill a man. Instead of turning the sexy suspect in, he tracks her across the country as she goes on a killing spree. Then things get even sillier. The two lead roles are impossible to flesh out, though the supporting characters are slightly more interesting. This includes Geneviève Bujold as a loyal psychiatrist and Jason Priestley as a handsome pick–up with his own secret.
