Summary: An Interesting Piece of Film
Review: The main thing that made me want to see this movie was to see if Keanu Reeves could pull off the whole serial killer thing. I was impressed with his performance. Actually I was impressed with the whole thing. It was done tastefully and well. It was really nice to see James Spader finally in another movie. In my opinion, he's a very under-rated actor. The main plot line follows Spader's character. He's an ex FBI agent that before leaving was heading a major investigation looking for a serial killer named David Allen Griffin. Griffin (Reeves) is fixated on Spader and wants him back in the game. There's a lot of action, and some cool cinematic shots done that made the movie have a really interesting feel. I recommend this one to the people looking for some good entertainment.

Summary: visually stunning
Review: As a visual experience this film is well shot and features all the latest camaera trickery.But as an example of modern cinema it owes a lot to Fight Club and similar movies .Unfortunately Keanu Reeves is no Brad Pitt.An interesting change of role but he fails to convince as a serial killer ending up seeming to be bored rather than threatening,shame!

Summary: just another serial killer movie
Review: "Th watcher" is a good movie, though very predictable. Keanu Reeves plays a serial killer who becomes obsessed with a cop who investigated his crimes. The policeman is traumatized and moves from LA to Chicago to forget all those incidents from the past. However, the serial killer follows him up to chicago, and starts sending pictures of the next victims for the policeman, giving him 24hs to solve the case, until he kills them. The cast is fine, and keanu reeves plays the bad guy this time. This is the kind of serial killer movie you've already watched several times, but still can entertain you. Since the very beginning of the thriller, you can guess all the killer steps finding out exactly what he will do next time. Anyway, it's worth you money.

Summary: Save your Money
Review: I am a man of few words.....this is a worthless piece of trite tripe. Once again Keanu Reeves proves he has the acting ability of a pear. This is a hackneyed plot....another serial killer pseudosuspense. Nowhere near the quality of Sea of Love.

Summary: Squandered potential by a first time director
Review: This psychological thriller doesn't quite come together due to various flaws in the script and poor orchestration by a rookie director. Director Joe Charbanic's prior experience is with music videos. This is his first feature film. It is reported that he landed the project at the recommendation of Keanu Reeves, who liked his work. As is the case with many music video directors, Charbanic is extremely creative with the camera. He uses innovative camera angles, close-ups, jump cuts and strobe photography very effectively. Along with veteran cinematographer Michael Chapman ("Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull", "Rising Sun", "Primal Fear"), he brings some very compelling imagery to the screen. However, this is only part of the director's job. He must also pull the story together and eliminate any inconsistencies from the script. Most importantly, he must get the actors to properly interpret their characters. In these areas, Charbanic is far less capable and it hurts the film. The initial workup is intriguing. David Allen Griffin (Keanu Reeves) is a serial killer who has developed an obsession with Joel Campbell (James Spader), the cop who has been pursuing him. When the cop retires from the force on disability and moves to Chicago, the killer follows and resumes the killings there to torment his adversary. Griffin sends Campbell pictures of his victims in advance and dares him to try to find them before he kills them. The story is fairly tight to this point, but unravels totally after Griffin lures Campbell to a graveyard and they meet face to face. From this point forward, the absurdities are piled on to the point of silliness. The acting is problematic. Keanu Reeves is an excellent actor, but he is miscast as the killer. He is just too nice a guy to be a sociopath. Actually, it probably would have been better if they flipped the leads because Spader would have made a very believable killer. Spader is excellent at portraying Campbell's decaying life, but his portrayal is wrong for the action roles. Normally dynamic and energetic, Marisa Tomei seems almost comatose in her dialogue with Spader during the therapy scenes, although she is great as the terrified victim after being abducted. The entire cast seems flat and subdued especially for a thriller, the responsibility for which I put with Charbanic. While Charbanic's images crackle, the actors are soggy. Although images are important in a suspense thriller, they cannot make up for flaccid performances. I was disappointed in this film. I rated it 6/10 on the strength of the photography. It had a great deal more potential that was squandered.

Review: dont waste your time or money on this one. THE movie was terrible so bad that the director fails to include his name in the final credits i feel as though the director should somehow attempt to repay me the money i wasted on this film and the time i spent watching it , maybe he can mow my lawn to compensate me. avoid this one at all costs

Summary: I asked myself "Why"..
Review: Ok the beggining of the movie was promising with the modern rock sound and Keanu in Matrix-like look (more fat though).. But after that in 10 minutes or so I discovered that there was no plot..Keanu was the watcher,though he never watched just killed girls..But the biggest question occupying my mind was "Why is he killing them?".The most simple answer would be because he is a psycho but he didn't show any emotions while killing,barring the possibility that this was what he was enjoying..Or maybe because he liked playing games with Spader's character,but then why he started to kill in the first place.At the end of the movie,we know as much about Keanu's character as at the beginning...nothing. This was really a stupid movie and mark my words because I am a person that usually tries to find something good in action movies that most people find stupid.In this one,I found nothing.The package was good but inside was empty...

Summary: Horrible
Review: This movie was shallow in writing and weaker in acting. Marisa Tomei looks a hundred years old and James Spader should think again before taking such a bad role. Keanu Reeves? Just doesn't fit the bad guy image at all. Buy something else.

Summary: NOT THE BEST
Review: Parts of the movie were okay, but there were parts that were so mind-numbingly dumb I couldn't believe it. Take for instance all of the dumb cops standing in front of an all glass elevator, holding pictures of the intended victim and they are looking every which way but their gaze seems to bypass the glass elevator that the victim is standing in looking right at them....duh. Also, hi could they make Marisa Tomei look worse??? She is a pretty woman and they have her looking terrible. James Spader was very good. I'd never watch it again.
