The Watcher

Two and a half stars. Almost okay, but too flawed to make the grade.

Lacklustre thriller with Keanu Reeves as a serial killer, and James Spader as a traumatised FBI agent who fled from California to Chicago after almost catching him, and losing a victim in the process. But now the killer has followed him there, and is intent on tormenting him even further. Cat and mouse chases, mind games, and some severely naff explosion "special" effects at the end. You get the picture. It whiles away the evening, though.
