A Web Full Of Suspense

This year there are some movies I cannot wait to see. Like The Mummy Returns, Pearl Harbor and Along Came A Spider. Well one of them is out Along Came A Spider is a psychological suspense thriller. For Alex Cross (Morgan Freeman) who is dedicated and the best at his job but because of a freak accident his emotions are down.

At a private school a young girl gets kidnap right under the FBI noses. The person who kidnaps her is a teacher name Gary Soneji (Michael Wincott) who commits a daring kidnapping and lures Cross into the case. But Soneji is not out for ransom, he wants something much bigger- a place in history books. So Alex gets involved but he gets a partner with him a young FBI agent Jezzie Flannigan (Monica Potter) who was one of the people watching the young girl so the two sent out to find Soneji and find the girl before it’s too late as it gonna be a bumpy ride.

Along Came A Spider was a very good suspenseful movie. Here are some good and bad points.

Good.

II did not read the book. But I have seen the first one Called Kiss the Girls t and I been waiting for this film for a while and I have to say it was worth the wait this was one good suspenseful thriller.
The story was good it had you on the edge of you seat and it keeps you into the story and you don’t what it to end.
The cast was very good Morgan Freeman stolen the show and he has this character down pack. He get into the role and you feels he knows what he is doing. Monica Potter was very good as his partner and she worked great with Morgan.
The story did not drag at all.
The last 15-20 was so good it had so many twists so keep you eyes glue to the screen and do not miss a minute.
It makes me want to read the book and see if the book is as good as the movie.

The only think I could think of bad about the film is the last 15 mins it kind of clinched but beside that the ending was still very good.

Overall Along Came A Spider was one very good suspenseful film I walked into this movie with high hopes and could not wait to see it and now after I seen it. I can say it was worth the wait. This is one of the best suspenseful films of the year. Everyone see this movie.
