Featured review
See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989) is a movie I recently watched on Amazon Prime. The storyline follows a blind and def man who randomly meet and become friends. Shortly after encountering each other for the first time they "whiteness" a murder. Their hijinks lead them to also being suspects. They decide to track down the killer to clear their name. This movie is directed by Arthur Hiller (The In-laws) and stars Richard Pryor (Harlem Nights), Gene Wilder (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory), Kevin Spacey (American Beauty), Joan Severance (Bird on a Wire) and Alan North (Highlander). The storyline for this picture is just okay, but the charisma and delivery by Pryor and Wilder is out of this world. Their mannerisms, chemistry and banter was legendary. The scenarios and circumstances are clever with some being better than others. The fight scenes and choreography were executed well and fun. This isn't a perfect movie, but it is definitely fun to watch from beginning to end. I'd score this movie a 7.5/10.
