There's nothing that stands out about this movie. It's pretty much a standard cat and mouse thriller. The cinematography in some scenes is horrible. Slow motion shaky camera that seeves no purpose other than to add to the running time. The pacing is off and makes it feel like a much longer movie. The police are played like they're idiots. There's plot holes all over. Dismissed.

All people have seen this movie says "Terrible" "Waste of time" "Horribly boring"...etc. Then I went to video rental shop, there weren't anything worth to rent. This film was not that boring than I'd expected. It had some thrilling chase scenes, and a Good actor :James spader. I like Keanu Reeves so much but he seemed like a fish out of water. Maybe it's just my opinion, because I've always used to seeing him in lead roles, not a serial killer. What was his motivation of serial killing? Probably Keanu's character feels so lonely, he needs someone to pay attention to him. Not that bad to think this one as a "Horribly boring".

A detective tracking a serial killer gives up all hope of solving the crimes and moves to another city. After he's settled in the old acquaintance he makes himself known. The serial killer has resurrected and resumes sending him pictures of his next victim now on upgrade Native 4K and Dolby Vision coming soon on Universal 4k ultra hd release August 2021

The Watcher was NOTHING like I expected. The movie was very boring and scarcely entertaining. Marisa Tomei made probably the best performance throughout the film. Who wrote this movie? The movie was meant to thrill you and keep you entertained, but it mostly bored you and made you want to go to sleep. I give The Watcher a 4 out of 10. :(

If you are a James Spader fan and haven't yet seen this film, I suggest you BUY this on DVD because it's worth every penny spent on it. Keanu Reeves plays his role in the film to perfection. This is a side of Reeves you have never before seen in his other films. In the film Reeves plays a serial killer who sends the police a picture of his intended victim and then tells them to try to find out who the victim is before he kills. Spader plays a retired FBI special agent tormented by Reeves to the point that he is hooked on antidepressants. Spader gives us his best acting in the film and I think overall he is the best actor in the film. Brilliantly directed by Joe Charbanic, The Watcher is a relentless thriller that never slow downs but keeps up its pace till the final conclusion.

Was Keanu Reeves in his right mind when he accepted a part in this film? I feel asleep halfway through this film in the theater, my girlfriend had to wake me up about 5 times before it finally ended! Scouts honor! The story of this film is about as thrilling as an insurance seminar! I am amazed how this script was actually picked up and then developed? And I was chocked to see that the cost landed on 30.000000$! Do not waste your time or money on this very "cheap" and boring one in a dozen film!

I watched this a long time ago. It still holds up. This is my opinion. Reeves portrays the killer fairly well. I have a problem with Tomei. She is not convincing as a Psychiatrist or Psychologist. I am not sure which. That is because Spader is taking several meds which include injections. Is he still working or is he on leave? I am watching it right now. You see him suffer from dibilating migraines to the point where he gives himself an injection into his abdomen. You see him with his side arm several times. It amazes me he is still in the FBI. Also, he seems to sleep in his clothes. He also doesn't appear to go shopping. It is a good movie overall..
