Eye of God (US) 1997
How I missed this in first run boggles my mind since Martha Plimpton was a favorite actor during the 1990s. That it is also a fascinating crime film – and I'm partial to smart crime films – adds to the mystery since I've only learned of it recently.
The story unfolds with Ainslay DuPree (Plimpton) having coffee at the local diner and chatting with the waitress Dorothy – played by one of my favorite character actors Margo Martindale – about the first date Ainsley will have with a recent parolee that she has been corresponding with.
Several stories are told in the film and some run parallel and not always in chronological order. One of the more interesting crime films I've seen in a while.
Written – based on his novel – and directed by Tim Blake Nelson. Also starring Mary Kay Place and Hal Holbrook, among others.
