Plots(1)
In this chilling mystery-thriller, FBI agent Joel Campbell and serial killer David Allen Griffin go head-to-head. Griffin stalks the streets of Chicago for his victims, photographing them and sending the pictures to Campbell before he kills them. This cat-and-mouse activity drives Campbell nearly to the point of insanity, just as it did when both killer and detective were living in L.A. playing the same game. Campbell fled to Chicago and Griffin followed. Now that the battle has changed locations, THE WATCHER asks, will Campbell be the victor--or just the next victim? (official distributor synopsis)

James Spader's role as an FBI agent is questionable in this otherwise average and unremarkable thriller. Personally, I found it fitting, he portrays the federal agent convincingly, his remarks are accurate, and his character is smart enough. But it’s hard to understand what Keanu Reeves was doing there, just like the whole wannabe cool plot. It's a pointless waste of time, and I don't understand how this project got the green light from the studio given the budget.
