Summary: Horrible
Review: This movie was awful. There was absolutely nothing good about it. The acting was bad, especially, and unfortunetely from Keanu.
The movie had i plot(somewhat) but nothing interesting happens and the ending was predictable. I dont recommend this to anybody.

Summary: THE WATCHER IS SURPRISINGLY WATCHABLE.
Review: This is a decent enough cat and mouse thriller in which a cop, Joel Campbell (Spader) comes out of retirement to catch serial killer David Allen Griffin (Keanu Reeves). The only catch is Griffin will provide Campbell with clues as to the identities of his next victim(s)and from hereon it's a race against the clock. While I expected this movie to be so-so, it's actually quite intriguing with a few suspenseful moments. Reeves ranges from blank to creepy as Griffin. If you want to see him in a better role as a bad guy, I recommend you rent or buy THE GIFT. Still, THE WATCHER is good for killing time and you could do far worse...

Summary: I was disappointed,,,.
Review: First,I want to say that what is the point in this movie?
I could not understand this movie's point.
This movie left me nothing.
I do not say that actor and actress are bad, but the concept of the movie is poor.
Thank you.

Summary: JIMMMY SPADER'S BACK AT HIS BAD... BEST YET!!!!
Review: This movie is truly much better than most of those critics really think.I found it to be frightening & beautiful at the same time when I watched this for about the fourth or fifth time. Plus Keanu's character was really freaky in the way he becomes emotionally & psychologically attached to James Spader's character due to the fact that K's character believes that he and James Spader's character need each other.Also,I found James Spader's character is beautiful, but mysterious in why he is so burned-out and emotionally troubled & what is his connection with this mystery woman, who we don't know about until later, was very appealing to me. Marisa Tomei pulls off her best yet as Polly, Joel's Psychologist,which I found to sympathetic without going on sacchrine overkill. So go rent this movie, you won't regret it!

Summary: One of Keanu's best!!
Review: I think "The Watcher" is definitely one of Keanu Reeves best movies. I liked watching him in a different role than he normally portrays. Keanu convinced me that he was truely a versatile actor in this movie. It shows that he can be more than just a hottie but, he can also be a little crazy. I am also a big fan of James Spader. He was most certainly impressive in the movie because he had to use his brain, and he was quick on his feet but, Keanu was just a little bit quicker.

Summary: No more Mr Reeves as maniac, pleeeeaaaaase!
Review: Although cliché-ridden unoriginal serial killer "thrillers" are conveyored as canned tuna now, I've not seen one so dull and insipid (and boasting two popular male leads) in months. I wonder how other reviewers find this flick full of suspense and good performances (well, it depends with whom you compare, of course. The world has seen worse, certainly. "Return of killing tomatoes", for example). J Spader used to be a good actor, but he's nothing to do here besides faking migraines (unpersuasively) and acting completely out of FBI-protocol and sane person's mind. Why K Reeves was cast as the serial killer here escapes my understanding: besides having black hair and black eyes (attributes hinting at his maliciousness, no doubt), he's ridiculous dancing in slo-mo in front of his victims, harassing the detective and voicing his text with as much pomp as you can withstand. Also please tell me who decided that heavy panting of him behind the frame augments the tension? Although the plot follows the well-trodden lane of such flicks, the facts and details are thrown at the viewer chaotically, probably supposing he'll accept everything (hate this concept!). M Tomei's character serves the only purpose she can have in such a movie, but her involvement with Spader (besides the fact that she's his shrink) is so poor and unemotional, no one cares about her. The preposterous last 20 minutes will not fail your worst expectations (if by that time you haven't switched your VCR). An episode of the Simpsons that followed the Watcher contained 5 times more entertainment. Keep away; better spend your money on something else!

Summary: WORTH WATCHING
Review: This movie has gotten such a bad rep,It just sickens me.Spader lifts this movie to a cool level,He should be getting a twenty million dollar pay check, Instead of reeves.I mean this guy hasnt acted great since the "Devils advocate".The two problems with this movie are reeves, and a little predictability,other than that the movie is good entertainment.

Summary: Good if you Think
Review: The 3 good things are that it's a thinker's movie. The excellent special effects. And the plot kicks arse. The one bad thing is that Keanu is in it and I'm not prepared to admit that, yes he is a good phsyco. He is supposidly a bad actor but he can also play a good Christ character in Matrix and a good lawyer in Devil's Advocate. And he is awful at acting but can play these roles well, and they're diverse roles. There are same major things that you need to realize when you watch this movie. I came in giving it 2 stars, but after seeing it I loved it. My mom hated (3 weeks before I saw it) it until I told her this information: James Spader's lover that got killed by Keanu was an affair he was having. This is the only woman he has loved. Reeves is the only connection to the woman DONT READ ON IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET and he can't kill him because of that. The picture they flash up on the screen for Jane Doe 3 at the end wasn't of Mira Sorvino, but of the woman who Spader had an affair with. And that's how he knew to go the grave. It was cool touch. Spader had been living in the past. That's why spader couldn't kill Reeves. The flashbacks stopped when he was put at the cross-road in his life: continue to live in the past or live in the future. When he saw the wire to her neck he knew that he had to move on. Great job!!!

Summary: *~* KEANU REEVES IS A BELIEVABLE KILLER IN THIS MOVIE *~*
Review: ...I think that having a person that didn't look like some psychotic freak was one of the best things about the movie! Keanu was charming yet creepy, sneeky, cunning, & quick. I think Keanu Reeves did a superb job, as did James Spader, & Marisa tomei. This is a VERY good movie, and had I listened to all of these... critcs, I would've never of watched the movie -- and I'd of missed out on a BELIEVEABLE MOVIE ABOUT A BELIEVABLE SERIAL KILLER...
