   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.
