The reason why I think of writing this movie is just because this movie is regarded as a movie character whose temperament, personality, and innermost inconsistent with him by the well-known Hollywood superstar-" Keanu Reeves/Keanu Reeves ". And this "Justice Watcher" can be regarded as the "countdown" movie work in the resume of the well-known American star. Therefore, after many years, I will just comment on it briefly.
In fact, this is a typical old-fashioned police and bandit movie. It is said to be "thriller and suspense", which is somewhat of a failure, because the thriller's sense of depression is not heavy, and the suspenseful investigation content is almost "none". This movie is more like a "two heroes" theme work where the right and the evil are not at the same time, and the black and white are clearly opposed. One good and one evil, one righteousness and one evil, one policeman and one bandit, are evenly matched...Is it "evenly matched"? When I write this, I don't think so. This movie can be written like this. From the beginning to the end, the "black" leads the "white", the "evil" motivates the "right", the "bandit" provokes the "police", even the reason in the film The police protagonist played by " James Spader/James Spader " [Joe Campbell/Joe Campbell] can't stand the mentally abnormal perverted killer of Chenlong Virgo in this movie "David Geriffin/Da "Wei Griffin" chose to "run away" from Los Angeles to Chicago. In the end, I didn't expect this serial murderer to travel thousands of miles away, chasing the police character "without regrets", and continuing to "harass" with his life. What did the police character gain during the three years of dealing with this murderer? It turned out to be "none". "I don't know what he looks like"... Didn't you meet this murderer in the year when your dead wife was swallowed by tongue of fire, and you almost chased him? And it begins with the film soundtrack kinda cut around the atmosphere, I really think, in fact, the hero can try to shoot, to the " Keanu Reeves / Keanu Reeves"The perverted killer starring at that distance, and there doesn't seem to be any more pedestrians in the clip, it is completely clear at a glance. Since there is a gun in hand, why not try to shoot? I think if this movie is at the beginning Shooting shots in the chase scene may not have so many general "mental breakdown" scenes and slightly "cliche" "psychological assistance" content. Yes, this movie translated as "Justice Watcher" Here, the part of the policeman who represents "justice", most of the time has a languid and blurred eyes. In the mourning of his dead wife, he is helpless. This positive figure even missed the perverted killer's direct mail about the victimization. Isn’t it too irresponsible to take secret photos of women? This police detective character, as the “righteous” party, can even write like this. In this movie, even his own wife cannot be protected. He was suspected of being murdered and walked by the nose. Even in the end, he even knew what the murderer looked like . The serial murderer in this movie played by " Keanu Reeves/Keanu Reeves " took the initiative to "show his face" ", it ended.
Yes, there is a feeling of "powerlessness" from the beginning to the end about the shaping of this positive character. When the camera turns to him, it is the dim and dim "warm and cold" lighting, the warm color in the past, Wandering away from the current cold tones, it really gives the viewer a feeling of "drowsy". Until the end of the film, I actually didn't see it well. I really think that the acting of " James Spader " in this movie is even more "fooling". But maybe it's the feeling of helplessness and sadness of "powerlessness"? But really, the perverted villain played by " Keanu Reeves/Keanu Reeves "-"David Griffin" is not up to the convincing "scalp tingling high". IQ perverted character." The "high IQ" of the perverted killer in this film is all in the lines of the positive character "Joe Campbell". I don't understand. Since we all "know" each other so "through", how can it be "knowing nothing" at all? This is a contradiction. And this police character was a deserter who lost his helmet and armor at the beginning of the film. His spirit has been destroyed by this "perverted killer" from the inside and out. He is not a "watchman", more like trying to think. To get rid of the "fugitives" of the past.
Therefore, this movie is more suitable for another, although somewhat "dirty", but a more accurate translation of the name-"Peeping Killer". Rather than "justice watcher." In the English word "Watcher" also means-observer, watcher, observer, and even "watching". The character until this word is the one who hasn’t revealed his true character on the poster of this film——【David Geriffin/David Griffin】.
Not to mention, I think the poster for this movie is well done. It looks like this--
Well, it's a bit like the 2005 comic film "Constantin". The "Don't go home alone" movie poster propaganda slogan is also a bit chilling. But the process of committing the crime presented in this movie...just the murderer himself did not hold a loudspeaker and shouted: "I am the murderer!"...and the positive angle in the movie is "Joe Campbell/" "Joe Campbell" did not personally find out the culprit until the last female victim of the film was murdered. Almost every female supporting role targeted by "Griffin" missed. As for the "perverted killer" in this movie, his modus operandi is not superb, and even a few times he can almost catch him without the protagonist. As a result, the film gave a very "reluctant" reason to make it "lucky" to escape-the car was good, and several police characters were killed. Hmm...what can you say? "As expected of John Wick."
Yes, if someone asks me this movie reminds me of " Keanu Reeves/Keanu Reeves " which is the more representative screen role, naturally it is "Quick Chase", "Quick Attack", "Quick Attack" In "Preparation", the same murderous "John Wick" is known as "Night Demon". Yes, the "David Geriffin/David Griffin" in this "Peeping Killer" is like "John Wick"'s naive "past life", and even the hairstyles are somewhat "similar." It’s just that the action series that made the salty fish turn over is more of a "involuntary" vicissitudes. In this movie, I can only say, "It's too deceptive." Yes, if " Keanu Reeves/Keanu" "Reeves " is really a perverted murderer, so I can only comment this way-people can't look at their faces, and they can't just look at them. Yes, it is entirely possible to interpret this movie in this way. The reason why the murderer is not enough to make people feel "chilling" is different from the outside. I think as long as a woman faces such an innocent man with open eyebrows, she would never think that this is a "killer," right? If there is any "horror" in this movie, here it is.
As for the "basic sentiment" that seems to come to an end in this film, there is indeed. This character should be the self-enclosed police role played by " James Spader " in the film "Love" -"Joe Campbell". Not "ready to come out", but already Overfill the screen. This is the "perverted root cause" of this character-a gay character. Yes, the "David Geriffin/David Griffin" in this film is really a metaphor for this group. And the "love" he gave to that positive character was-the deadly female corpse, and the deep pain of the character "Joe Campbell". In fact, the "hidden psychology" of this movie is indeed somewhat "intriguing", but in this trivial police thriller, it is not too clear, and there are so many regrets. I think that this kind of psychology, in similar movies, there is no need to make a fuss. And " Keanu Reeves/Keanu Reeves " is not that he has never played such a role, but he is a decent person in the more literary and artistic film "Bollow Sky".
And, the photography, lighting, costumes, and soundtrack of this film are all pretty good. There is a "full" image style that Hollywood is like in the era. But to say that this movie is not worth "recommendation"... alas...unless you are a die-hard fan of " Keanu Reeves/Keanu Reeves ", otherwise it's really boring. Movie. As for " James Spader ", I personally have not been a fan of him. It seems that at least the movies he has starred in, there are only a handful of classics, only facts.

The "best spare tire" awakened from the "matrix" no longer harassed the Los Angeles detective of Aquarius, nor "Cospaly" Jesus Christ, beat Leo "Mo Cuishle" and has not yet been paralyzed. Instead, he played a wonderful game with a last stand, even if it was a hero, it was just one day.
