The Watcher (2000)
MEDIUM LEVEL VIOLENCE
| Director: | Joe Charbanic |
| Actors: | Keanu Reeves, James Spader, Marisa Tomei |
Keanu Reeves ignites this action-packed, "superbly crafted thriller that zooms along like a sinister video game of hunter and prey!" (Richard Roeper, EBERT & ROEPER AND THE MOVIES).
After years of pursuing psychotic killers in Los Angeles, FBI agent Joel Campbell (James Spader) wants out. And now his nemesis, serial killer David Allen Griffin (Reeves), has tracked him all the way to Chicago just to torment him. Before each murder, Griffin sends Campbell a photograph of his intended victim and dares him to find her before he strikes again. Now with every tick of the clock, and amidst pulse-pounding action, this stone-cold killer turns up the heat. Co-starring Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei, this game of cat and mouse will have you grasping for breath from its first terrifying frame until its final explosive conclusion!

A really good show ,I quite liked James Spader as Joel Campbell (makes a difference to Alan Shaw) you forget how good an actor he is and Keanu Reeves rarely makes a bad movie, I can totally recommend this one.

Enjoyable, occasional moments of suspense. Keanu Reeves once again showing his diversity as an actor. He does very well with his role- bringing the idea of a charming but scary psychopath to life.

Not a bad movie worth a watch, nothing special but it certainly wasn't boring

Whether one likes this movie or not will depend on two things, I believe. Firstly, whether or not one likes the idea of a pretty generic serial killer plot, and secondly, whether one, presuming the plot isn't a problem, can tolerate the irritating fact that while Keanu Reeve's gorgeous psychopath is absolutely lovely to watch, he's given enough depth to have one want more, but no more to fulfill that urge -one can see that he's a complex man, but that's never explored to the extent it should be.
That said, if one likes watching dark, moody serial killers doing what they do best -killing people and playing taunting games- then this is a very enjoyable movie.
