Kiss The Girls/The Sum Of All Fears/Along Came A Spider Kiss The Girls/The Sum Of All Fears/Along Came A Spider
Kiss The Girls Coming after The Silence of the Lambs and Seven, this thriller about a ... more
collaboration between two serial killers feels
like a pale attempt to cash in on the success of
those earlier, better films. That's a pity,
because this film certainly has its
strengths--particularly in the central
performances of Morgan Freeman as a forensic
detective and Ashley Judd as a would-be victim who
escaped from one of the killers. Director Gary
Fleder demonstrates visual flair and maintains an
involving undercurrent of tension, but as this
adaptation of James Patterson's novel approaches
its climax, familiar elements combine to form a
chronic case of thriller déjà vu. It's
altogether competent filmmaking in the service of
a moribund story of competing psychopaths, and by
the time the serial killers reach the home stretch
of their twisted contest, the movie's dangerously
close to Freddy Kruger territory, with a finale
that could've been borrowed from any dozen similar
thrillers. --Jeff Shannon The Sum of All Fears
It's not easy replacing Harrison Ford as a beloved
screen hero, but Ben Affleck brings fresh vitality
to The Sum of All Fears, reviving Paramount's Tom
Clancy franchise in the role Ford made famous. As
CIA agent Jack Ryan, Affleck is a rookie in the
covert ranks, unraveling a plot that lures Russian
and American superpowers into a nuclear standoff,
while a neofascist faction turns most of Baltimore
into an atomic wasteland and holds the world in
the grip of a terrorist nightmare. Affleck
combines sharp intelligence with a new-guy's
perspective, while a senior agent (Morgan Freeman)
passes the torch of back-channel authority. The
result is one of the best Clancy films to date,
ably helmed by Phil Alden Robinson (whose comic
thriller Sneakers was sorely underrated) with a
stellar supporting cast, and adapted with abundant
humour, humanity, and thrills by Donnie Brasco
screenwriter Paul Attanasio and cowriter Daniel
Pyne. Even the typically reticent Clancy would
approve. --Jeff Shannon Along Came a Spider After
an obligatory prologue in which its detective hero
suffers a tragic professional setback, Along Came
a Spider sets about its business of luring the
viewer into its nefarious plot, relying on the
magician's technique of misdirection to reveal a
double-whammy surprise. The clever, late-coming
plot twist is a bit too mechanical but effectively
unexpected, making this a satisfying prequel to
the hit thriller Kiss the Girls--based on the
first of James Patterson's Alex Cross detective
novels--and a welcomed addition to a promising
movie franchise. It's no better or worse than a
good vintage episode of Peter Falk's Columbo,
adhering closely to the mystery-thriller's
time-honored traditions, but with Morgan Freeman
settling comfortably into his role as seasoned
sleuth Alex Cross, familiar formula is given fresh
vitality.  When a senator's daughter is kidnapped
from her high-security private school, the
kidnapper (nicely played by the underrated Michael
Wincott) draws Cross into the case, knowing that
the psychologist-detective's involvement will
bring high-profile publicity. Cross partners with
the Secret Service agent (Monica Potter) who
botched her assignment, but wait... the movie's
got a rabbit in its hat... and that rabbit has an
ace up its sleeve... and director Lee Tamahori
(who brought similar intensity to The Edge)
handles the sleight-of-hand with slick precision,
dispensing just enough information to keep the
viewer off guard without resorting to cheap
manipulation. Don't look for much depth of
character here, but Along Came a Spider is well
served by everyone involved. It's the movie
equivalent of a bestseller you'd impulsively buy
at the grocery-store checkout, and on those terms
it succeeds. --Jeff Shannon

Review of Along Came A Spider (Wide Screen) by Makaveli786

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: none

..., while the Feds don't appreciate his involvement, Cross has credible expertise they don't have - like using tiny details to profile Soneji as "a spider." So does disgraced Jezzie Flannigan, who's distraught that she "dropped the ball." So it's their job not only to find Soneji but to rescue Megan Rose. Marc Moss's well-constructed script actually improves on the novel, adding unexpected twists and turns, involving double-crosses, deception and duplicity. And director Lee Tamahori keeps the pace fast and the tension taut, staging an intricate race through the streets of Washington, D.C., culminating in a convoluted ransom drop. There are several problems involving logic, not the least being that the Secret Service does not protect children of Senators, but on the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Along Came a Spider" is slick, solid, escapist 8...

Arachnophobia
Review of Along Came A Spider (Wide Screen) by revboy

Advantages: Great start, taught viewing
Disadvantages: Feels like a rewrite of another movie...

...Along Came A Spider... dark, involving, utterly dull. Freeman is able to do this kind of thing in his sleep, and in this case, it really feels as if he is. The plot is extremely remeniscent of Kiss The Girls (by the same author,and boy does it feel like it,) and Freeman's prescence as the worldweary cop dragged out of retirement etc. is getting a little stale, frankly. That aside, the movie slopes along quite amiably, with thriller staples thrown in at the requisite points. The occasional tense moment, and a believable baddie help keep the pace moving, but the overall impression is slightly stagnant. Add a final twist which smacks of having been rewritten, and you have the perfect high-gloss DTV product, not the popcorn fodder we expect from this genre. Promises much, delivers satisfaction. But it could have been so much more.... Read review

Along Came a Cheesey Film
Review of Along Came A Spider (Wide Screen) by Weez

Advantages: Highly entertaining for all the wrong reasons!!
Disadvantages: Terrible script, laughable plot and has no plausibilty whatsoever!!

...If you want to watch a film that is thrilling, entertaining, yet not atall plausible, then go watch Along Came a Spider!!! I personally went to watch this as it is the long awaited sequel to the fabulous psycho-thriller 'Kiss the Girls.' I loved Kiss the Girls and expected Along Came a Spider to live up to it's high standards.....it didn't! In Along Came a Spider, Morgan Freeman continues to play criminal psychologist Alex Cross. His performance is certainly just as excellent but as for the film, it's pretty laughable. I don't want to ruin it for those of you who haven't yet seen the movie, but the plot is basically set around a guy who kidnaps a senator's daughter. Towards the end, there are quite a few unexpected twists and turns, but the resolution is as predictable as ever. The film was pure entertainment in the sense that my... Read review
