Not a well spun web

Along Came a Spider (2001)

Based on the novel of the same name this a prequel to Kiss the Girls (1997) is directed by Lee Tamahori and stars Morgan Freeman and Monica Potter. A senator's daughter is kidnapped from her school and a police detective has to work with a secret service agent.

Thrillers like this rely on their plot and the plot for this film is just bad from the start, it begins with a bunch of clichés and as the unbelievable plot unfolds we find out it is full of holes. If you are not even going to bother with having a realistic plot it should at least make sense which means there is not much to like in this film. About the only redeeming features of the film are that plot aside it is executed in a way that does not make it any worse.

2/5
