Newcomer Jason Yee proves plenty adept at chopsocky, but his chops are nonexistent on the thesping side.

Los Angeles Times

In its moments of sometimes comically violent antagonism, the movie shows some flashes of genre pizazz.

Rated: 3/5

At times off-putting, at other times outright campy, "The Girl From the Naked Eye" does offer a measured amount of queasy fun.

Rated: 2/4

It's a pretty good little noir with excellent fighting and the usual story. I liked the tone, I liked the photography, and I liked the characters. The pace is a little maddening, but the film is ultimately efficient.

Rated: 6/10

Shared Darkness

A pulpy, low-budget slice of film noir cross-pollinated with a martial arts flick, this Girl wins no awards for great originality but nonetheless serves as a stylish and engaging vehicle for the surly charms of Jason Yee.

Rated: C+

It might be difficult to stifle laughter while watching this stylish but overwrought noir thriller.

Sadly, this movie failed to hook me. I got maybe 10 minutes in before I decided to just turn it off. Boring.

Asian crime drama. Guy goes hunting down who killed his girl... had potential, but I found this boring and easily forgettable.

O filme é bem divertido quando não tenta ser mais esperto do que é, e as cenas de luta são muito boas.

An interesting noir thriller, The Girl from the Naked Eye has an impressive visual style but lacks a bit in storytelling. When a call girl is found murdered her driver sets out for revenge and turns on his bosses in order to find those responsible. It's a rather formulaic plot and the characters are the usual stereotypes. But this is made up for by the fight sequences, which bring a lot of energy to the film (though the fights start to become a little too choreographed). The Girl from the Naked Eye doesn't have much originality, but it's entertaining and has a creative aesthetic.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
