Morgan Freeman wears a Casio G-Shock

Morgan Freeman rarely plays a villain, which is part of what makes Dreamcatcher (2003) worth a look. He is Col. Abraham Curtis, a military officer who has spent years quietly containing alien incursions and has decided the cleanest way to end the latest one is to kill everyone inside the quarantine zone. Lawrence Kasdan directed and co-wrote the script with William Goldman, adapting Stephen King's novel, with Thomas Jane, Jason Lee, Damian Lewis, and Timothy Olyphant as four friends carrying a psychic gift from childhood. On Curtis's wrist, as he runs the containment operation in the snowbound Maine woods, is a square-cased Casio G-Shock, the resin digital long favored by soldiers for being cheap and nearly indestructible.
