Upon agreement, Keanu had a condition that producers release him from having to promote the film or appear on any red carpets. The actor abstained from bad-mouthing the movie, even after the twelve-month period had expired. His role was against his typical onscreen affability as a serial killer in a cat-and-mouse game with a detective, which had mixed reviews.
Directed by Joe Charbanic, The Watcher had Keanu Reeves as a menacing killer who taunts James Spader’s overwrought cop. There were many reports that the actor was unhappy during the filming as had envisaged that a minor role had been made the center of the film.
