This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of Val Kilmer's best roles along with The Salton Sea, Heat & Batman Forever. He nails his role as a blind masseur who meets an architect from New York. Amy is played by Mira Sorvino from Mimic, she also complements the movie in every scene she's in. They become involved and she recommends that he has surgery to regain his sight. He agrees and then he moves to New York to live with Amy. He explores a lot of New York and his story is even featured on the news. I won't spoil the end because it is suprising. Overall this movie is unique, intriguing, emotional, brilliantly acted & a journey well worth taking.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great Movie!

This movie was really emotional for me because it brought back memories of my sister when she was five years old. My sister was born 99% deaf and could have lost all her hearing if a certain operation was not performed. For the first time at the age of five after an operation my sister was able to hear fully. She reacted very similarly to that of Val Kilmer's character in the movie. He "learns" to cope with seeing for the first time. It is very strange for him. Everyone that can see all their lives take many things for granted. It really brings out how hard it is to cope with such a change. I know from personal experience how hard it is to help someone through such a drastic change.… Expand

Kilmer shines!

Val Kilmer once again gives us a brilliant performance that deserves much more attention than it received. His portrayal of a blind man is very convincing and it is only a shame that he was not allowed to flesh out the feelings and process what Virgil went through as he dealt with his new-found vision. More movies please with Kilmer at this level !!!!… Expand
