The Girl from the Naked Eye (2012)
As cool as Pulp Fiction in it's own sweet way.
The Girl From the Nakes Eye is great fun from beginning to end. It starts out with atmosphere and style and continues with intrigue and action. With so many movies today being bland with little flavor or soul, this murder mystery and action story shines with it's own comic light.
This film has it's imperfections too, but in it's own style and category it is an enjoyable, witty and original watch. The fight scenes are not quite world class, they almost are, yet they are really good and make the movie even more exciting! The Girl From The Naked eye is stylish, cool and even sometimes moving. One of the best movies I've seen in ages. For 2 hours of clever fun action and noir this film is highly recommended!

An inspiration and a joy to watch.
What an excellent surprise! I expected this movie to be similar in quality to other films in its genre, such as Legion, The Prophecy, Underworld etcetera - all of which I consider to be good quality entertainment and storytelling but not much more - but this film turned out to be far better. I would even agree with some of the other reviewers here in calling it a masterpiece in its genre!
The first thing that struck me about this film was it's authentic and poetic tone which involves the viewer in it's mysterious story. This comes partly from a great script and secondly from superb editing. The pace is just right, dark and intriguing.
There is beauty in the character development and the acting from every single actor throughout is truly fantastic! The characters have a strange sense of reality to them, from noble and kind, to sick and twisted, but all in a very unique and original way.
The action scenes are awesome and lots of fun. The cinematography and art direction perfectly fit the mood of the film, and often left me thinking "That was brilliantly filmed, like a painting." They carry you deftly through the story.
The storyline is excellent too! But, you should watch it to discover that for yourself. But what I will say is that the storyline is deep, existential and very moving. It makes you think and leaves you wondering in a really good way.
Considering the tiny budget of this film, I cannot find any faults with this film at all really. I thoroughly enjoyed it and this is the first film in ages that I left feeling that i want to see it a second time soon, cos it was that good!
Kudos to the director / writer I hope he makes many more great films.
Highly recommended!
