Full review
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 boyfriend and I laughed all the way through due to it's many minor mistakes and unbelievable subplot. The kidnapper's motive is also just as laughable.
This is a story that seems to have been thrown together and made into a film without anyone really sitting back and thinking about how naff it all sounds!!
However, if you fancy a bit of 'cheese' in your movies, do go see this and be prepared for thrills of the laughing variety!!
