The Watcher Movie
FBI agent Joel Campbell (James Spader) spent over five years chasing a cunning serial killer, David Allen Griffin (Keanu Reeves). Frustrated and all to pieces after many years of a fruitless search, Campbel can hardly comprehend the maniac's perverted logic and goes into retirement. He moves to Chicago in the hope of finding peace of mind and beginning a new life. Nothing seems to prevent him from making a clean break with his terrible past. But some months later, murder wave swamps Campbell's new hometown. This is undoubtedly the handiwork of David Griffin who decides to play a sadistic cat-and-mouse game with Campbell and mails him photos of his soon-to-be victims. Campbell must stop the gruesome killer by all means otherwise he will be Griffin's final victim.
