The Watcher

Starring: James Spader, Ernie Hudson, Marisa Tomei and Keanu Reeves
Director: Joe Charbanic
Running time: 97mins

Out to buy on DVD February 18th

Joel's (Spader) life is spiralling out of control. Living in fear, unable to work, taking a concoction of drugs just to get him through the day, moving to a new city and mourning the death of the women he loved. All of these afflictions can be contributed to one man, a man who he has never met, whose name he does not know and who will not leave him alone. You see Joel worked for the FBI and the serial killer he was tracking in LA has followed him to Chicago and has just upped to skates.

This is a very formulaic serial killer movie, a cop and his nemesis playing mind games, with the killer wanting to be caught, as the killings get more and more elaborate and closer to home. Directed by Joe Charbanic, he also directed Reeves's Dogstar music videos, which explains why he agreed to appear in the movie. This is however, not a bad movie and it will keep you entertained with good performances from the extremely underrated Spader and a quite menacing Keanu.
