This is the one about the cop who falls in love with a beautiful witness to murder and tries to protect her from the killer. The formula stuff is given a twist by making the witness (Madeleine Stowe) the recipient of newly grafted eyes following 20 years of blindness. This leads to 'perceptual delay', which means that objects that are blurred to her can crop up before her eyes, crystal-clear, 24 hours after. Strung out beyond its story, the plot takes too long to get going, although Stowe's unexpected visions make for some jumpy moments to begin with. Although the actress herself is remarkably good, she has too much shouting, screaming and romancing to do in scenes that interrelate her with cop Aidan Quinn, whose behaviour, like hers, is none too logical at times. Why, as a violinist with a folk group, does she not wear dark glasses for the glare of the stage lights? Easy - 'cos then she wouldn't spot the killer in the audience! Dana Stevens' screenplay, though, does have a few good lines, mostly for Bruce A Young as Quinn's boss, and some routine excitements.
