Eye of God

DIRECTED BY: Tim Blake Nelson

REVIEWED: 02-02-98

Well-shot-but-ponderous drivel from writer-director Tim Nelson puts small-town waitress Martha Plimpton in the arms of convicted murderer Kevin Anderson, who has wooed her by mail for several years. Set in the Oklahoma oil fields, Nelson manages to pull off some striking compositions while punching the audience in the gut repeatedly with dreadful symbolism, self-important theatrical-style dialogue and a very high regard for metaphors involving eye-gouging, as well as some choice eye-gouging. 84m.
