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

Customer Reviews of Along Came a Spider (Spanish) (Spec Sub)
Was this movie made from a james Patteson book? I read the book along came a spider by JAmes Patterson.I adorded this book and reread it many times.When the movie came out i was disappointed.I doubt that this movie,apart from the title,came from the same book i loved. It is about a girl named Megan who is kidnapped by her computer teacher gary.Gary then tries to kidnap the russian ambassadors son dimitri.Alex cross is a profiler who gary involves in the crime.Jessie is a secret service agent at the school where Megan was kidnapped from.Together Alex and Jessie team up to save Megan and capture Gary.This movie is so different from the book i was tempted to walk out of the theatre in the middle.They basically tell you who it is in the first half hour.My advice to the reader get the book out of the libaray and save yourself some money.Only watch this movie if you are really bored or like movies that you can figure out who the purpotraitor is in half an hour.
Morgan, Monica, & Mika!
Everytime a Morgan movie comes out, you can expect it to follow certain guidelines, and he will MAKE the movie. But in this one Mika Boorem (kidnapped girl)also shines as a star that just hasn't been cast enough since. Monica Potter holds up her end of the acting to the high point of Freemans's and never lets it drop. We aren't seeing enough of her either. I don't know about the book, but I was in full support of Monica's character all the way to the credits. That takes a great actress.If you are loyal to the book, the actors in this movie alone should be enough to convince you to watch.
Nightmarishly Entertaining! Wouldn't Change A Thing
Senator's daughter kidnapped,... blah blah blah. You won't want to be disturbed while you watch this, so turn off the phones. You are in for a treat with this genuine suspenseful tale. Try to keep up with the detective as he discards false leads and picks up real clues during this thriller.

>MORGAN FREEMAN is the reason I watched this movie. Loved it! Every time there's an "Alex Cross" novel-movie available I watch it. Driving Miss Daisy, Seven, High Crimes, Shawshank Redemption, Glory, Million Dollar Baby, and all those many other movies are excellent, still, Morgan Freeman as the outright leading character are the height of entertainment!

>Just get all the "Alex Cross Detective" movies starring Morgan Freeman available and watch them four or five times. The movies share titles with novels, but don't let that delay your viewing.

>An avid reader, I had never heard of James Patterson until I had seen "Along Came A Spider" AND "Kiss The Girls". Thus, I had the benefit of not being concerned as to whether the movie script followed the novel to the letter. Who cares?! If they differ, it is most likely because, duh, one is a MOVIE while the other is a BOOK. Reviewers who complain about the differences must not understand that what makes a good chocolate cake doesn't quite make a good chocolate ice cream. To achieve the same flavor, you've got to change some key ingredients.

>Morgan Freemam MADE the character Alex Cross worth watching. When you need an actor to literally CARRY a movie, you've got to get someone with a reputation for doing the heavy lifting. Freeman has long since done that in "Driving Miss Daisy". Recently, though I don't know why he bothered to do it, unless as a personal favor to his friend Clint Eastwood, Freeman did all the hard work again in "Million Dollar Baby". Come on folks. I like Eastwood as much as anyone, but there's a REASON he's been directing movies and not acting in them for decades now, and "MDB" is a painful example. Hilary Swank? Well, if you get "packaged" between Eastwood's direction and Freeman's acting, cleary people will mistake you for an actress! At least partially reminds me of Driving Miss Daisy.

>When you search "DVDs" for "Morgan Freeman", it lists 'related searches' as "Denzel Washington", "Mel Gibson", and "Tom Hanks". Those guys are listed as RELATED to Morgan Freeman! You should really see this movie. And also see "KISS THE GIRLS", which I've also reviewed.
