The Story: Burned out after failing to bust a sadistic serial killer in Los Angeles, FBI agent Joel Campbell retires to Chicago. But the killer refuses to leave the lawman alone, and begins furnishing new clues designed to drive him mad. from netflix.com
Before James Spader became the creepy new boss on the Office and before Keanu Reeves started making terrible, awful movies like The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, came The Watcher.
TW had me at the opening sequence. Keanu is dancing and it's sooo creepy. It's a total warning of the craziness your about to see from him. I could go on and on about how good he is in this movie, but you just have to see it for yourself. He does deranged serial killer like no one else, amazing!
Balancing Keanu's insanity is and FBI agent, James Spader. They are an excellent pair for this cat and mouse game. Spader is better known for his comedic roles, but this is definitely his best role. He's dark and self-destructive and somehow still a good guy.
