The Watcher (2000)


The Watcher (2000)

Who doesn't love James Spader? I guess considering my age bracket I must have started liking him from Stargate, cause I know I was too young to see him in White Palace or sex, lies and videotape.
Regardless, I love him in this movie, although watching it again almost ten years later makes me wonder what it was that I liked so much about the movie itself. Keanu Reeves 'the killer' is completely dimensionless, the plot is lacking in most everything other than Spader and Marisa Tomei's perfomances.

It was still fast paced and pretty suspenseful, despite Reeves totally lifeless portrayal (and I'm not one of those people who always pan him, he's pretty cool in my book).
