I have to admit to being a fan of James Patterson's Alex Cross novels. They are so easy to read that you can sit back and relax with your brain out of gear and still have a good time, but they are ultimately a little lightweight in detail, no matter how convoluted he tries to make the plots. Kiss The Girls was the first time we saw Alex Cross, and the same description could have been applied to that movie. AlongCame A Spider is his secpnd movie appearance...and nothing has changed. The movie is good, but at the end when its all ironed out you'll wonder why all the twists and turns when the solution was a mere step away.
The movie opens with a 'sting' being carried out on a serial killer. An undercover police woman wearing a wire is posing as his next victim, the passenger in his sports car which is being tailed by more plain clothes ...
Advantages: good acting, fast paced Disadvantages: story is a little unbelievable but then it is a film
find the child when the only person who knows where she is is dead? Well thats where the twist starts - and you'll have to watch it to find out what!!
The story is based on a novel by Dan Patterson, and brings back to the screen Cross whom we first saw in the film Kiss the Girls. Freeman (a very talented actor) is excellent as usual - though it has to be said he is getting a bit old for this sort of thing.
Not much action in the film, but then it is a thriller and not Die Hard. However, the plot is moved along quickly and manages to keep your interest all the way through. The twist is not exactly suprising but then there wouldn't have been much of a film without it.
Not the best of its king but well worth watching!! ...
Advantages: Another fantastic read from james Patterson Disadvantages: /
chapters, some only being one page long, which makes it even more unable to put down.
There are a few different plots going on in this book, which also keep it interesting:
Firstly, there is a missing girl by the name of Maggie Rose, secondly, a family in the projects of Washington are brutally murdered, thirdly, an elementary school teacher is also killed, fourthly, a psychopathic murderer/serial killer that goes by the name of the Son of Lindbergh is terrifying the FBI, the Secret Service, and the police and they cannot outsmart him - even once he's been captured and lastly, Gary Soneji the mild-mannered and gentle maths teacher at a Washington, D.C, private school for children of politicians and the elite is so popular ical and social elite. He's so popular that the kids all call him "Mr. Chips." and he's extremely intelligent ...
