Hey folks, Harry here... Personally according to my theory of Keanu Reeves, this movie must suck. Reason? Ok... here we go. Any movie where Keanu Reeves is supposed to be the smart one.... it flops... anytime that he's supposed to be the dumb or disbelieving character that must try to learn something... he's awesome. Keanu's good flicks: SPEED, BILL AND TED 1 and 2, Matrix, POINT BREAK. However, when intelligent we get LITTLE BUDDHA, JOHNNY MNUEMONIC, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, etc... So in this film, he's supposed to be in control of things and know everything... it won't work. However, in THE GIFT... he plays an ignorant asshole character that doesn't know much of anything... he'll rule. AND my theory holds bad for MATRIX 2 because now that he is THE ONE... well he's supposed to know all.... which means the movie can't rule as hard as the first one. Of course... this is just a theory, and not yet an entirely proven LAW OF FILM.... Here's Ed Nygma
Hey Harry, Ed Nygma here. I just got back from and advance screening of The Watcher. I got the tickets from my local comic shop and decided to check it out with a friend of mine. After getting out of the theatre, he had asked me what I thought. It Sucked. It was a bad, bad serial killer movie. I know why Keanu Reeves didn’t want to do this. James Spader, okay, I liked him, only because I have had somewhat of a liking toward him due to a certain director (soderbergh), but this, as I can not stress more, is bad. Well, for 8 bucks its bad, I saw it for free, and it still wasn’t good. This is something you should rent if anything.
Ok, an unbelievable amount of ripoffs, right down to the slight Alex Proyas influence made this laughable, and the attempt at the chief or whatever making him comic relief, that was bad (you’ll know if you see it.) The pacing was horrible, starting and ending with “hip” music and a more cool faster pacing and a lagging dull middle, and when you look through his point of view, it always seems as if he’s videotaping. There are scenes in this film that are there hinting that there is a reason for it to be there, but there isn’t.
And the end, GOD, the end….. I wont “spoil” it for you, but jeeez, could it get any more run-of-the-mill, it looks like something you would see on TV. See it if you please but this is bad.
If this is published, I am known as
