Universal Pictures Rated R for violence and language.
Someone wants to play.
The Watcher is the latest in a long strand of serial killer movies, and it is obvious that the makers of this film don't know what works. You have a good cop who will go to any lengths to catch his man, and you have a killer who is so suave and insane that it is so fun to love to hate him. Throw in a couple of creepy murder scenes, some deductive reasoning, and maybe turn the serial killings into a game, and you have yourself a good movie. The Watcher doesn't stop there. The good cop is a retired bum who has horrid flashbacks and calms himself by injecting medicine into his side.
