Noble, intelligent, educated and with a big heart, as well as being a great professional... Canadian actor Keanu Reeves seems to be an ideal person, but even so, he sometimes messes up. In an interview, the Hollywood star confessed which was the worst movie of his career and what prompted him to participate in its filming.
While the films My Private Idaho, Johnny Mnemonic, They Call Him Bodhi, Speed and The Matrix were successful and satisfying, Reeves will never forget the day he became involved in The Watcher (2000). And all because of his kindness.
I never found that script interesting, but a friend of mine forged my signature on the contract."
"I couldn't prove he did it and I didn't want to be sued, so I had no choice but to make the movie," Reeves said in an interview.
Moreover, the producer of the film, Universal, reached an agreement with the actor so that he would not announce the forgery of the signature for a year.
He stumbled twice on the same stone...
Reeves already had a bad experience in another film, Chain Reaction (Chain Reaction, 1996). Each day of shooting, he and his colleague Rachel Weisz wondered when all this hell would end.
However, it took the actor just four years to make the same mistake. In The Watcher his role was not limited to a brief intervention, as he expected. Reeves ended up as the lead and appeared for most of the film's 97 minutes.
The Watcher was directed by American film director Joe Charbanic. Reeves plays David Allen Griffin, a dangerous psychopath hunted by FBI agent Joel Campbell for five years. He suddenly shows up to make life difficult for the now-retired Campbell by sending him clues about his next victims.
Reeves does not agree with the public
Netizens have a good opinion of The Watcher unlike the actor himself. According to specialized film pages such as IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, the worst films where Reeves appears are Siberia (2018) and Toc Toc (Knock Knock, 2015) because both gathered the fewest votes.
The Matrix star also does not agree with the critics who describe Generation Um ... (2012), The daughter of God (Exposed, 2016) and Replicas (Replicas, 2018) as the worst films of his career. So there is nothing written about tastes.
