Pros: It shows us that even serial killers can be boring. Cons: Are any potential serial killers looking to Keanu Reeves as a role model?
Marisa Tomei plays the female lead in The Watcher, a psychiatrist named Polly. Viewers are likely to complain that her character doesn't have very much depth. But we should remember that it is difficult to achieve depth with a character that is...
Pros: Has some genuine interesting moments. Cons: Bad style of directing is too much to absorb.
Serial killer movies have so much stacked against them, really. I mean the formula is pretty hard to stray from…you have to have so many deaths, but usually the female actress with star billing will be somehow emotionally involved with the cop who is...
Pros: effects were good, film had it moments. Cons: holes in plot, no suspense
My sister and I went to the movies last night. As fans of serial killer genre of film we decided that The Watcher looked good. So we purchased our tickets, some popcorn and drinks, and then sat through about 20 minutes of trailers and commercials before...
Pros: Good performances; direction; use of detective work. Cons: Very formulaic and many unbelievable aspects; Reeves and Spader are reverse cast.
When most critics describe a movie as being "by the books" or "follows all the rules" they usually mean it in a derogatory way. I was thinking of using one of those kinds of phrases to review "The Watcher." After all, it is a big budget Hollywood serial ...
Pros: not the worst movie you'll ever see Cons: not the best either
Did you ever see a movie where at first you thought ”Geesh that was a horrible film...”, but then after a little consideration and thought, you suddenly realized ”You know what, that movie really wasn’t THAT bad...”
Pros: Spader's acting Cons: KEANU / Terribly cliched plot / Not a bright spot in the entire film
"The Watcher," the latest serial-killer flick for Hollywood to throw our way, is far and away the worst film I have ever sat through at the theater. First time director Joe Charbanic assembled the most recognizable cast he could get to do the...
"The Watcher" isn't necessarily a film that should never have been made. It's just a film that should have been made by somebody else. Director Joe Charbanic, who also co-wrote the peculiar script, comes straight from directing music videos to this....
Pros: Spader and Reeves convincing in their roles Cons: Clicheed action sequences
The first thing I have to say is that I'm an idiot. I always do this. I go out for coffee with my friends before we go to see a movie, then I buy a big pepsi with my popcorn and finish it all before the movie is a quarter done. Then... wouldn't you know...
Pros: Reeve's flat affect works for a serial killer, Spader, select moments Cons: Spader's eyes, the pace, unfulfilled promise, the story
If ennui, the quintessential boredom ,could kill, then we would all be dead after watching this one. Of course my judgment may be a little harsh. This so called thriller is meant as a tense blend of action and psychological terror and stops short of...
Pros: This could have offered potential by making the viewer aware of his/her unawareness. Cons: Dude, it's hard to get beyond Keanu Reeves as an un-dude.
If a movie-maker wants to put a message within an action/suspense film, they shouldn't drop it before they get to the point. The Watcher is about a serial killer named David Alan Griffin (played unremarkably by Keanu Reeves) and his cruel game of...
Pros: James Spader in one of his most powerful portrayals. Cons: An underused and un-enthusiastic Keanu Reeves.
At last, a movie for which my positive comments should far outweigh the negative. In fact, I'll say right now that I recommend this movie for anyone looking for mystery, murder, and insane serial killings. There are some peripheral considerations which...
Jack Campbell is the ultimate washed-up FBI agent in the new film "The Watcher." Living on disability in a Rocky Balboa type apartment, Jack (James Spader) spends his time taking powerful psychoactive prescriptions, injecting his migraine...
Pros: Kept me interested Cons: blah acting...blah storyline
That is the very line that made my side split as I giggled my butt off. Keanu Reeves sounds like an idiot every time he opens his mouth. He sounds like a surfer even when he's trying to be scary. Don't let this one bias of mine make you not like this...
Pros: interesting, acting is pretty good Cons: unrealistic
I'll start with the simple stuff.
There's a washed-out FBI agent (James Spader playing Joel Campbell) who seems prone to migraines and depression. He has a recurring nightmare somehow related to a murder years ago. And he's seeing a...
A detective on the case of a serial killer moves to a new city after giving up hope of catching the killer. The killer follows him and soon the deaths...More at HotMovieSale.com
