Synopsis

EYE OF THE BEHOLDER is a startling journey into obsession. It is the story of a lonely British intelligence agent, The Eye, (Ewan McGregor) who's current mission is to track Joanna Eris (Ashley Judd), a woman suspected of blackmailing the son of a senior British official. The Eye is so taken with this beautiful killer Joanna, he cannot bear to apprehend her. As he follows Joanna from murder to murder, the more The Eye finds that he needs to watch her. Not capture her. Not speak to her. But watch her, becoming inexorably more and more obsessed with what he sees. He shadows Joanna without ever letting her know he is there - except that sometimes unexpected turns of fate make it seem as if she has a guardian angel watching over her. Yet to catch her would be to lose her (something The Eye cannot allow again in his life having lost his wife and daughter), until the pursuer and the pursued find themselves on a perilous crash course.
