Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleJun 15, 2012
Early on, it's tempting to dismiss the noir pastiche The Girl From the Naked Eye as a warmed-over pulp wannabe, what with the overwrought camera work and clichéd dialogue. But in its moments of sometimes comically violent antagonism, the movie shows some flashes of genre pizazz. Read full review

So deadpan are the dialogue and narration that it's hard to tell whether the laughs are intentional.

Gets one's attention but doesn't keep it, due to ill-cued flashbacks, groan-inducing dialogue and wooden performances. Read full review
