Review – At First Sight

Sadly, Val Kilmer appears to have reached and exceeded the limits of his acting ability. He’s supposed to be playing a blind man who regains his sight thanks to the miracles of modern medicine. But he plays the character as if he was not only visually impaired but also mentally differently abled. Once he regains his sight and begins to struggle with his newfound sense, his IQ also seems to jump by at least 50 points. Mira Sorvino, as Kilmer’s girlfriend, does her best to keep up. But ultimately this movie never rises above the level of run-of-the-mill disability drama. Mildly amusing
