First, Alec Baldwin can no longer be taken seriously because of his politics. His choice has been to malign (not satirize) his president. Second, Dermott Mulroney or Mullet McDermott or whoever he is phones in his performance as a one dimensional douche. The guy who plays Gavin is forgettable, as is Do-me More, a willing acolyte for Hollyweird society.Plot: Douche Bag gets caught breaking the law. Douche Bag's wife has to perform commie service to atone for being married to said Douche: shoe-horned into reading for Scum Bag blind guy, after forgettable Petty Thief gets tossed by Scum Bag. Everyone is all part of the same problem, that is, they are all unlikeable as "people".Eventual betrayal, murder and escape. But, we don't get what we really want: to see them destroy themselves and the film stock go up in flames.Set your DVR to ERASE.

As a romantic at heart I love a good love story and this is certainly a good'n. I was so surprised to see Demi Moore I wasn't sure it was even her to begin with. She's great in this and really fills the part well, as does Baldwin. They have a great on screen chemistry as well as presence so whenever they are featured together on screen it works very well indeed. Dylan McDermott is also very good with a particularly powerful performance as the husband of Suzanne Dutchman (Moore's character). The rest of the cast is very able; Viva Bianca, Steven Prescod (who isn't listed as a cast member on IMDb) and particularly Eden Epstein are very good here. Gerardo Rodriguez also stands out with the little he is given. There is just enough involvement in the story from the supporting cast to make the film work well without overshadowing the leads or complicating he story unnecessarily. I love the way this balance has been expertly applied.The film has a lovely easy free flowing pace that progresses effortlessly. Scenes shift easily as the story develops and anticipation is with you on the whole journey. Practically everything is done well. Nothing is over exaggerated or laboured, nothing is weak or too understated. Great credit here to the production team.It's not a complicated story by any means just a simple tale of flowering love in modern times between two people n situations we can all identify with. If anything my gripe would be that it is too straight forward. You won't be surprised by any of the developments, there are no twists, turns or diversions from the rather uncomplicated path, and the outcome though quite delightful can be seen a mile off. This isn't always such a bad thing; plots with over complicated story lines twists and surprises are often badly done, exaggerated or overused to the detriment of the film, which I find grossly annoying. However a little more drama 'may' have added a star or two more to my rating.As it stands its still a very good film, very enjoyable and definitely recommended.

There's nothing like sitting on the edge of your seat during a movie. "Blind" was one of those, where the actors were reliable and present for every shot. The camera loved Alex's face (like who doesn't), and Demi an Dylan's performances were believable and captivating (and scary too). John Buffalo's cameo: priceless! I'm proud to say I saw the preview of Blind at Wilkes University's residency. nd now the world gets to enjoy the talent and film-making of Michael Mailer and John Buffalo. About time!!!!!!

no one has reviewed this film as of 15July17. I'm very surprised at that considering the cast is comprised of 3 well known actors as the leads. first let me say that Demi Moore is looking very very ODD these days. you will notice the extreme plastic surgery when the camera 1st encounters her. if you can get past that initial shock she does give a good performance as the scorned woman. Mr Baldwin was a surprise as his character starts off as a dickhead and later becomes charming when he wants sum tail from Miss Moore. there is a fairy tale ending which only happens in films. overall i found the film entertaining and a good way to pass the time.
