During a gun battle with a pair of criminal brothers, police officer Jack Fletcher (Brad Johnson) incurs a wound that leaves him temporarily sightless. During his recovery, Jack is helped by Rebecca (Megan Gallagher), who works as a "trainer" for the newly blind. Gradually, Jack and Rebecca fall in love, much to the dismay of Rebecca's overprotective sister, Bedelia (Roxana Zal), who as a childhood incest victim has developed a pathological hatred for all men. Thus, once his sight is restored, Jack finds himself in the crosshairs of two potential assassins -- the demented Bedelia, and the brother of the crook he killed. Several daunting surprises and unexpected plot twists await the protagonist of Blind Obsession, which was released to home video as Blindside before it was picked up for cable-TV play by the Lifetime channel in 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Jack Moony (Bob Hoskins) is a vice detective, but he is also an intense and crazed, racist lout. Jack has had a brief fling with a hooker named Crystal (Chloe Webb), but Crystal left him for Napoleon Stone (Denzel Washington), a suave, handsome, cosmopolitan lawyer, who becomes the object of Jack's rage, not simply because he has stolen his girl but also because he is black. Jack, who lives on cheeseburgers, beer, and whiskey, has a heart attack. This occurs the same night that Stone is killed in an un-accidental car crash. Thanks to a quick organ transplant, Jake ends up with Stone's heart. But to Jack's horror, he discovers the ghost of the lawyer has returned to earth to follow Jack around -- offering Jack nutritional advise, giving him tips on solving his murder, and suggestions on how to get back together with Crystal. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
